Any Questions?

What can be improved?

• The Chubb Center is not an abortion clinic, only issues referrals for women who are looking to have abortions- Instead of gaining an abortion clinic, offer woman who choose to keep their child classes to help raise them.
• Also, because of spiked teen pregnancy, have workers from Planned Parenthood speak about their own personal encounters to high schools around the area.
• Promote the vast amounts of birth control options more publicly.
