What I did and what I learned about my topic, activism, social justice work or civil and human rights work from this fieldwork?:
At 5:00pm on February 13th our group got a tour at Planned Parenthood on Motts and Bleecker. Our tour was for 45 minutes and the majority of our time was on the second floor. Our tour guide took us through all the rooms and explained in detail what happens in that room. We saw the white board for the next day. We also saw the room where patients stay after their procedures are over. We were told that the patients have to wait there for at least 30 minutes to see that the anesthetic fully wears off. This tour was extremely helpful and it was good to see what the experience would be like when getting an abortion.
