Minors |
|
Women under age 18 must comply
with Arkansas Act 270 of 1989, otherwise known as the parental consent
law.
We encourage all young women who are faced
with pregnancy to discuss their thoughts and feelings
with their parents. However, we also understand there
are valid reasons a young woman might not find this
possible.
Minors seeking an abortion have an option to petition
before a probate judge to be given permission for an
abortion without parental notification. This process
is not complicated.
We assist minors who choose this option, providing detailed
information and instructions to make this process as
easy as possible. Call us for more detailed information.

| Community |
| We work closely with physicians,
genetics counselors, social workers, and social service agencies in
the community, including the University of Arkansas Medical School,
who have clients with needs for special support. |
| Abnormailities |
| Our clinic is uniquely
qualified to manage genetics and fetal abnormality cases.
Often, these women have a desired and planned pregnancy.
However, thru various laboratory and ultrasound testing,
a severe abnormality in the fetus is discovered or the
woman is found to have a medical condition that makes
the pregnancy unusually hazardous. |
| Ultrasound |
| State of the art ultrasound,
available at our site, allows for excellent technical
support throughout the abortion procedure. |
| Recovery |
| Also, we allow partners
to comfort our patients in the recovery and lounge areas
throughout this difficult time. |
