We provided a safe and legal abortion to a legal adult. She supplied documentation, a birth certificate, that she is legally an adult able to make her own health-care decisions, including having an abortion. This appears to be a very sad case of a breakdown of communication among family members. Clearly, she was a legal adult and wanted to make the decision alone without notifying her parents.
