What is one of the specific questions they asked you (question 1)?

"15 year old girl walks into your clinic and wants an abortion, what do you do? (since I would have killed to give up an arm and a leg to know the answer beforehand, here's an idea of what the answer might be: inform the patient of the other options (adoption, keeping the baby), ask about her relationship with her parents and why she doesn't want them to know, inquire about the circumstances of the pregnancy (rape?) and run HIV and STD tests. If the patient still wants to have an abortion and is competent enough to make a decision, then the best choice of action is to do whatever the patient wants to do)."
