“I had a patient, at age 14, she walked into my surgery and said the man in the house had asked her to come for an abortion. I said, we don’t do that in this clinic. Monday, we didn’t see her. Tuesday, we didn’t see her on Wednesday. There was a lot of commotion and now I was told by my nurses that she had been taken to court, because she really didn’t know what was happening.
