Brief Summary

The investigators will conduct a voluntary anonymous survey at four separate Sacramento area family planning clinics. The investigators will ask the staff at each facility to offer a survey to all women 18 and older presenting to the clinic to have a first trimester (\<12 weeks gestation) surgical abortion. Gestational age will be based on what the woman believes is her gestational age at presentation, before any evaluation in the clinic. Women who cannot understand or read the survey will be excluded. The investigators hope to implement the survey at these clinics for 3-4 months reaching a minimum of 200 women (based on a target population of 600 women receiving surgical first trimester abortions at these two clinics over a 3-4 month period with a 95% confidence interval).
