I’m so glad I found Support Circle the day I arrived to go to an abortion clinic in San Francisco. I was able to get an ultrasound at no cost. Most of all, I received nonjudgmental support and was given the space to talk as I processed my thoughts and options for the first time since finding out I was pregnant.
I began searching for the abortion pill near me as soon as I suspected I was pregnant. I had just started an internship at a major tech company in the Bay Area. The nine-month internship would be pivotal to getting a good job afterward. It was a horrible time for me to get pregnant. Before […]
I have gone to Planned Parenthood since I was 17 years old and planned to go there for an abortion. But my college roommate suggested I go to Support Circle Clinics for a free pregnancy verification. My boyfriend and I had met at a frat party in freshman year. We took our time getting to […]
“When I realized I was pregnant, I was desperate to find an abortion clinic in Oakland. I felt trapped and that the only way out was to have an abortion as soon as possible.” This is what one of our recent patients said, whose real name and identity have been changed for her protection. Oftentimes, […]
My husband took the news of the miscarriage harder than I thought. He had actually come around to the idea of having another child. He said he was glad I had gone to Support Circle, instead of any of the abortion clinics near me, because Support Circle really cares.
I avoided facing the truth of being pregnant by running errands instead of driving straight over to Planned Parenthood Mar Monte. I noticed on a flyer that Support Circle offered free pregnancy tests and pregnancy verifications. When I drove past it, I thought, “Heck, why not?!”
I am so glad I went to Support Circle instead of getting an abortion near me. The staff were kind and supportive of my choices. To my surprise, I am carrying TWINS! My mom is a twin so it made it easier to tell her, and she just kept smiling and hugging me and crying.
After my Planned Parenthood appointment, I was so upset and confused. It wasn’t anything they said. I had felt so alone ever since I found out I was pregnant. I saw a sign that said: “NOT okay to be pregnant?” Nope, it was not okay for me to be pregnant. I called the number for Support Circle. At Support Circle, I felt more at ease about the pregnancy and I’m thankful for their services.
Ever since I was 16 and first got on the pill, I almost always go to Planned Parenthood. This time, I decided to go to Support Circle because I saw a flier for them and their services are all free.
I am familiar with the abortion clinics near me because I have had two previous abortions. My boyfriend and I are undecided about what to do about this pregnancy so we came to Support Circle together. We both felt heard and cared for. We have a clear path ahead of us and I feel in a better frame of mind to make a final decision.
