Abortion Clinic Announces Atlanta Opening with Unapologetic Billboards

carafem opens in Atlanta, providing birth control and abortion care

ATLANTA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–carafem
has opened a state-of-the-art health center in Atlanta. The clinic,
which provides a variety of birth control and early abortion care
options, opened its doors today to serve the greater Atlanta area.
carafem is known for its high-touch services and edgy advertising and is
focused on providing a positive client-centered experience. To celebrate
the new center, carafem recently launched pink, eye-catching billboards
on seven major thoroughfares across the city of Atlanta.

“We are very proud to be in Atlanta and to help serve the community
here. We are here to provide family planning and early abortion care in
a compassionate, highly professional, women-centric setting,” said
Melissa Grant, Vice President. By advertising these services through
mass media channels, Grant said that “we can talk about the services
that women want in a way that both normalizes and destigmatizes. This is
supported by our carafem website (www.carafem.org)
and social media.”

carafem has been operating in Washington DC metro area since 2014 and
received high rates of client
satisfaction. In the first year of service, nearly 100% of clients
surveyed said they would “recommend carafem to a friend”. Clients list
the convenient hours, affordable prices ($400 for the abortion pill),
and high-touch setting as reasons for their positive experience.

“We know it’s difficult to access health services in the South where
women are facing more and more barriers
to care,” said carafem president, Chris Purdy. carafem provides
flexibility, including 24 hour appointment making, efficiencies that
include little to no waiting time and a visit that lasts about 60
minutes, and allow women to be a part of their treatment process.

“Women here should have access to quality services, and be treated with
dignity, respect, and compassion regardless of the nature of the
services they are looking for,” said Grant.

Reproductive health care options in the South have been greatly limited
in recent years due to targeted regulations against abortion providers
that have resulted in multiple clinic closures. More than 200 abortion
restrictions have been enacted since 2011, making
it harder for women to have choices about where to receive care.

“We are opening our doors in Atlanta because all women deserve their
choice of medical provider, and to receive care that is affordable,
respectful and professional,” said Purdy. As more clinics close their
doors due to political and social changes, we are seeing a lot more
women forced to travel across the country for routine medical care. That
is why carafem focuses so heavily on services that are provided with
efficiency and focus on the client experience.”
