A woman's right to reproductive freedom and personal choice is protected by our United States Constitution. We realize that beyond the emotional and often difficult decisions to terminate a pregnancy, is the need and responsibility to provide women with the opportunity to have a surgical abortion in a professional and safe physician-run medical environment. We know and respect how difficult the decision to terminate a pregnancy can often be, and we are dedicated to provide you with information you may need to come to a decision that is right for you and your individual situation. Our goal to make sure women always have a safe facility and physician to go to when this decision is being made.No one ever wants to be faced with the decision to have an abortion. Often we go through our life thinking "this will never happen to me." But as a woman between the ages of 13-50 years old, it is likely that there will be a time in your life that you will be faced with an unplanned and even impossible pregnancy. The chances that a woman in her reproductive years will elect to have an abortion is approximately 1 out of every 2 persons. For some women, the choice is very clear. For others, the choice can be much more difficult. This is now about making a decision that is right for you and your individual situation at this time in your life.
Be assured that in making a decision to have an abortion, you are definitely not alone. The surgical abortion is one of the most common procedures performed in the United States. We want you to know that if you choose to have an abortion, our physicians and staff are here to assist you in every way we can.
Parental Notification Laws in Florida:
In Florida, the legislature has implemented a requirement that any patient under the age of 18 who is not an emancipated adult must comply with the parental notification statutes before being able to obtain a pregnancy termination. There are also judicial bypass methods that can be used for young women who wish to not involve their parents in this personal and private decision. For more information, our friendly staff can assist you with the details of this requirement.
