Birth Choice Clinic

Came in here a few years ago with a friend who wanted the pill, thinking it was a medical clinic with doctors. When we walked in the greeting we got was a snarky «You’re not here for an abortion are you?! Because we don’t do that here!» whoa lady, hello to you too. That should have sent us running in the opposite direction but we were young and naïve. They sat us in a room lecturing us about how we didn’t have to have sex to get love, and that we should go to church. Huh? I asked how to make an appointment for std testing, and she tried to scare me with photos of stds. Seriously? When I told her that women have orgasms and like sex too, she was floored. I felt so sad for her :/​it’s one thing to be against abortion, but to give misinformation like how the bc pill aborts babies is just wrong. Not to mention all the shaming and judgment. If you are very conservative about sex and child birth this place might work for you, otherwise avoid it like the plague.

I am so happy my friend told me about this place. I was a few weeks pregnant and insurance was taking forever to figure out and go through so a friend had told me that they do sonograms and first trimester care I felt very comforted that I was able to have a place to check on the baby. But they were much more helpful then just that.
The first appointment I had was for the official pregnancy test, and then one a few days later was made for the sonogram however when I arrived for the sonogram appointment in the morning there was a note on the mobile unit (the main building is being remodeled) that they were closed on that day but no one had called to inform me. There wouldn’t have been a complaint from me about it because I appreciate being able to have it done here in the first place while I waited on insurance but my husband had taken time off work and we arranged childcare for our son for the appointment so that was a bummer.
But other then that little hiccup my experience was really great. I had three different ladies that I met and they were all very very nice and came across as genuine and tried to help in any way they could. They helped me get insurance going and got me covered on a type of temporary insurance until Medi-​cal kicks in which is sooo great because it’s going to take forever to go through so this way I can start to see an OB right away.
Overall great experience with wonderful people.

People are complaining about FREE medical services? Wow. If you are disappointed about them trying to convince you to keep you’re baby just skip it and go straight to planned parenthood, where they do the opposite and try to convince you to have abortions. To each their own. But don’t hate a place offering free services just because they’d prefer women keep their babies. This place is clean, friendly and there to help women and children and volunteering their time and resources.
