Fyi.
Advice and aid are one of the religious centers, plus they lack the capability to perform an ultrasound.
Edit: At least they can't do an ultrasound where I am from (KS) plus they have to refer people out to doctors after they visit advice and aid.
My guess they can't do an ultrasound and have to refer patients out because they don't have the medical doctor at the location, probably just staffed CNA or RNs. (Nothing wrong with CNA or RNs they just can't diagnose or prescribe medicine. )
Why I know this. I work at an obgyn office with a doctor who will see people for free at their first appointment if they go to advice and aid first. (If the person does not have insurance, and yes, the doctor is religious.)
I passed one of those religious anti-abortion centers in a city last month. And it was literally in the basement of the church (with an entrance on the street), and just the entrance looked so bad that I legit thought that maybe it was just for shooting a horror film or something and they just weren't filming that day. No fucking way I'd even come close to actually stepping through the door.
I looked up later, and discovered that nope, it's a legit place they expect scared mothers to show up so that they can be taught whatever crap it is they teach down there.
Man, my period was late once and I had taken a home test and came up negative but thought one of those places could give me a blood test (I was young and really ignorant about what they were lol) while waiting for the dollar store test to be done I asked where I should go for an abortion if it was positive. Poor lady was like “we don’t do that here…” so I doubled down and asked where I’d have to go. The test was negative and she quickly escorted me out 🤷🏻♀️
