HELPING TEENS SINCE 1973
Once we determine how long you have been pregnant, you will meet with a trained female counselor who will discuss your surgical abortion, and make sure you are comfortable with your decision to have an abortion.
All our nursing staff contribute to the gentle, supportive acceptance you will feel in our Bronx office.
EXPERIENCED, EMOTIONALLY SUPPORTIVE NURSING STAFF
Female counselors, trained in women’s health and crisis intervention will answer all questions and discuss any personal issues determining a patient’s decision.
A teen who deciding whether or not to have an abortion is usually influenced by her financial situation, her family, her peers, and her commitment to personal or professional goals.
According to the Guttmacher institute most teens discover that pregnancy radically interrupts their life, their educational plans, and their future earning potential.
Teen motherhood often means that both you and your child will grow up poor.
In comparison, teens who choose abortion are more successful in school and are more likely to graduate and pursue higher education.
