“[Children at our office] are both a nuisance and a safety/liability risk. Children will not be allowed in any patient service area, and they may not be left unattended in the waiting room. If a client arrives with a child or children but without a caretaker, her appointment will be rescheduled. For obvious public relations reasons, we will not be posting the policy, but we need to translate it into a message that can be given to patients when making an appointment over the phone.”
Syracuse Planned Parenthood memo, described in “PP: Kids Are Nuisance” People Concerned for the Unborn Child, July – August 1992
