Others just wanted me to have lived in the area for X number of months before I went in to them. I'm an adult. I pay rent and taxes, I invest and save, and I do want kids someday. Just not right now. With all the hoops and arbitrary waiting periods for birth control, by time I got to the front to get a quick, simple prescription, I might already be in a new line, this one for an abortion.
In the end, Planned Parenthood saved the day. Went in, paid full price because they're not in my insurance network (but guess what -- I can pay full price, and I'd have been willing to pay out of pocket for the others doctors, too, had they let me) and walked out a few minutes later with a year long prescription. Seriously. For real. Jesus. #Texasplz
