Your Rights

If you are seeking an abortion, you should know your legal rights:

You have the right to insist that only a licensed physician can perform your abortion.
You have the right to know whether this physician has ever had his or her medical license suspended.
You have the right to verify that this physician has medical malpractice insurance to protect and compensate you in case you are injured during the procedure.
You have the right to be immediately transferred by ambulance to the nearest emergency hospital or trauma center if you are injured during the abortion procedure.
Women considering abortion should never sign a waiver releasing the doctor, abortion clinic or staff from liability for abortion-related injuries.

How do I know if I’m pregnant?

Signs of pregnancy vary from woman to woman, and even from pregnancy to pregnancy. You may experience some, all or none of these symptoms.

Listed below are the most common symptoms of pregnancy. They include:

•missing a period

•a period with less bleeding or fewer days than usual

•swelling, tenderness or tingling in your breasts

•frequent urination

•fatigue

•nausea or vomiting

•feeling bloated or crampy

•increased or decreased appetite

•changes in digestion (constipation or heartburn)

•mood changes

Most urine pregnancy tests, like the one used at PLCC, are sensitive enough to detect HCG (a hormone that is produced during the early stages of pregnancy) levels approximately 7-10 days after conception.
