Question
I want to go on the pill to feel safer for my first time. I have asked my mom to take me to Planned Parenthood, but she just thinks what I'm doing is wrong and doesn't want to help me out. Is there any other way I could get the pill?
Answer
Please call your local Planned Parenthood clinic and make an appointment without your mom. In CA, anyone over the age of 12 can access confidential reproductive health care services without a parent. Please protect yourself.
