'''OVERVIEW''' | |||
As a major American city, you will find many health care resources in Chicago. All forms of birth control are available, including condoms, pills, patches, shots, etc. If you're under 18, you may need parental approval to obtain birth control pills. You can buy emergency contraception in drug stores. You can get STD/STI tests at many facilities, including public facilities that offer free testing, as well as private facilities. At CVS and Walgreen's, you can find menstrual cups, and you can find eco-friendly menstrual products at Whole Foods and various health food stores. Maternity leave is covered under The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA), which covers some (but not all) working people in the States. Abortion is legal but, in the case of minors, abortion providers must inform their parents. Parental permission is not required for an abortion to be performed. | |||
