~~abortion is legal right up through the 9th month as long as you are not in labor. also, there are many other factors to consider besides how far along, your health history, your age, first pregnancy, etc.... If you are interested, click on my avatar, and add me to your yahoo messenger, and we can chat some, i have many details that i can give you re: the abortion procedures. i also have if you are interested a copy of a consent form that was put into language that is easy to understand, (explains the legal and medical terms into everyday language. Anyone facing decision like this should go into their decision fully informed. I'll be more than happy to help you any way i can.~~~~I am a crisis intervention counselor, with much knowlege of the abortion procedures~~

Answer 2

I don't know exactly, but I really hope you talk to someone about this before you do it. It may seem like a "no-brainer" today, but I know many, many women that it scars for life (and I don't mean on their body). They'll see kids who'd be about the same age as the child they aborted and think, "that could have be my child."

This is more than a decision for today - yes, you could have a baby in 7 months or whatever, yes, you might have to give a baby to a family that can take care of it or yes, you might have to raise a child right now. But believe me when I tell you that even if you don't think you'd *ever* think twice about it today - you have no idea how you'll feel in 10 years (or even 10 days, or 10 months).

I hope you make the right decision. This is no less a lifelong commitment than having a child is. This decision will be one you wake up with every single day for the rest of your life. And it's not one you can undo.

Life can go on, even with a child. You can still go to school, travel, work - whatever. Some things might come later in your life, but your life wouldn't be over with a child. Just think about it. Best of luck.

Answer 3

I know I am not answering your question but I do urge you not to get an abortion. Your baby is a living human being. Babies develop quickly. My baby had a heartbeat at 5 weeks old... That is a precious life living inside of you, and to have an abortion is murder. It took me 10 years to have a baby, I lost three and it killed me each and every time and every year that went by and I couldn't get pregnant was torture. There are sooo many people out there that can't have children and want one desperately and can give them a good home. Adoption is always an option. I do urge you to please don't kill your baby.

Answer 4

Beware of the 800 number given by "Auntie Rae" above! This is the number for the National Abortion Federation, an organization made up of abortionists who make hundreds of dollars for every abortion they sell! People who have a financial stake in your decision are not going to give you the most unbiased information. If you need to talk to someone, I'd recommend calling a hotline whose counselors have zero financial interest in what you decide, like 1-800-848-LOVE (5683) or 1-800-395-HELP (http://www.optionline.org )

You need to make sure you are fully informed so you don't do something you might regret the rest of your life. Please check out these sites:

Answer 5

I believe that it is three months. Don't let anyone pressure you one way or the other as weather or not to have this child. I see a lot of people judging you here today and they are not in your position so I do not see how they feel as though they can judge you. You have to live with this decision no matter which you choose and I hope that you make the correct choice for yourself and not any one else. I also hope that you have a good support system in place to help you through this very difficult decision to make the best choice for you.

Answer 6

yesterday was the last day, sorry for that but now you have to take responsibility. You thought you were old enough to lie down and make the baby but claim you're too young to be a parent.....well, which is it? Are you old enough or too young? Hmmm Okay then, why don't you just hand the responsibility off to someone else instead of committing murder due to your own bad behavior?

Answer 7

if you're past your 1st trimester then its really going to depend on what state you live in.
also it is harder to have abortions after the 1st trimester (physically).

I do consider myself to be pro choice but I would advise you to go along with the pregnancy if you are past the 1st trimester.

If you are not past the 1st trimester then you need to find a women's clinic and talk to somebody and make sure that you are confident in your decision

try not to take what some of these people are writing you too hard. You have to think this out with a clear mind.

Answer 8

y abort when there is so many families wanting 2 adopt!!!!!! abortion is wrong it's murder!!!!!!! if u didnt want a baby u should've never spread u legs b a grown up and responsible 4 what u've done

Answer 9

If you decide that you do not want to have a baby, please hear me out. There are a lot of people like my wife and I who are unable to have a baby. We depend on people who do not want a baby, but have gotten pregnant. There is a large "market" for babies out there and people like me will pay medical costs, etc. to adopt your baby. We don't care about race or gender. Please talk to someone about adoption. You may find someone you know in a place like I am in, so you will be able to keep in touch with your child, but let someone else raise them. If you don't know anyone who is interested, e-mail me.

Answer 10

um don't wiat and let the baby get bigger the longer you wait the more expensive it is. You can wait up to 6 months but do not wait that long get it done as soon as possible
