Do you have to be over 18 to get an abortion without parental consent? If I don get pregnant, I am going to want to have an abortion. Even though I am under aged,(not by much) can i have it done without a parent?

Depends on your state's laws. Go to Planned Parenthood to learn all of your available options.

you sound really ignorant...why even take the risk of getting pregnant if you are just going to have an abortion??????? Use condoms, the pill or even better HOW ABOUT NO SEX AT ALL! Obviously you are not 18 or older, so you really need to think about what you are saying and doing. Abortions can cause all sorts of medical problems and even prevent you from having children in the future. Use your head...if you dont want a baby...do something more positive about it like birth control instead of using abortion as a way out.
Grow up girl...all i can do is shake my head....some people are just really stupid. I cant believe that this question would be your only method of control.
Get a clue!

The only thing you can do is go try. It differs from state to state. I think it is plan parent hood you need to go to. They will help you out. Something you might want to think about is adoption. If this doesnt' work out. I was young when I had my son. So I know what you are feeling. I also thought about abortion. Just couldn't go through with it. In the end I'm glad I didn't. But Everybody is different. So do what you think is best for you. Plan parent hood I think will help you with everything. Including after you had an abortion. Make sure you give it a good thought. Only do it if you are 100% sure you can go through everything it takes to get one. If not you will spend the rest of your life regreting it.

I dont think you can, try finding an aunt or other of age-caring person. I'm not sure by what you meant by if you get preg- if it hasnt happened yet-get on some birth control if your not, I had an abortion -and even though I dont feel guilt or regret-the thought that you may have killed a child is always in the back of your mind. An abortion is not something you can just forget about.

depending on what state you reside. no you will not need parental consent but make sure its clean and reputable place. The cost run between $350-1000 depending where you go and how far long you are. Matter fact get birth control and condoms you wont have to worry about an abortion. Not done correctly you may never be able to have kids. STRAP UP

You have to be over 18 to have an abortion without parental consent. Use birth control, you don't have to be 18 to buy condoms.

dont get an abortion, all these people telling you to use condoms and pills are wrong. are you married to the guy? didnt think so. then you should not have sex. period.sex should be between a married man and a woman, in a financially stable situation, that are ready to have kids. not some weak teens wanting pleasure and giving into peer pressure. abortion is murder and it is also child abuse. if you do have one you WILL regret it later in life and it will sit on your soul for3v3r. just dont have sex, and there will be nothing to worry about, and dont have an abortion, and you will know you have done the right thing.

I respect your decision. I expect you can have them done without parental consent. I would check with Planned Parenthood, and your physician first.
Have someone you trust at the procedure, you may be a little shaken up after it. However, it may just be a pill you take, if you are doing this early enough.
Still...if you're not pregnant, please consider using the birth control pill, patch or a condom. If you are simply just considering the thought of having sex...have you considered STD's. Now, those you cannot get rid of. In fact, STD's are extremely contagious and can cause death. Think of HIV, Herpes, Syphilis. Are you ready to handle all those too?
Abstinence is the only 100% method of preventing unwanted pregancies and the only 100% method of preventing STDs.
Good luck!

Depends on State Law. Call a clinic and ask.
Also for those telling her not to have an abortion..OK she obviously "doesn't" want a baby..I agree so don't have sex or at least protect yourself..But if she brings a baby into this world..who is gonna take care of it ???? Why would someone bring a baby into this world and knowing they didn't want the baby..this is where neglect..abuse etc. comes into the picture.
UNLESS of course she puts the baby up for adoption, which is a great idea. BUT again..still has to live with the pain..

I'm not sure about the age, but why would you get an abortion?!! You are killing a person! You are not allowing that person to get a chance to live, and it's not his fault. There is nothing he can do about it! What if your mother decided to get an abortion?! It's just wrong. At least give the child up for adoption.

You do not have to be 18 to go on birth control w/o parental permission. Why would you plan on having an abortion? did the baby do something wrong? No, just you did!!
