I have no idea how much it would cost, I've never had one and don't believe in abortion, but I'm more concerned about you. You state you are a senior in high school, yet you can't spell. You need to be concentrating on your studies not having sex or working. I'm not trying to be mean, but at 17, you shouldn't be having these problems. Either have the baby and keep it or have the baby and give it up to someone who can give it a good home, but don't kill it. I suggest you giving it up. You also state that you are suicidal but if you do have an abortion, think of the emotional and mental repercussions you will have to deal with. I could never have an abortion because I don't believe in it but more importantly because I know emotionally I wouldn't be able to handle it, to know that for the rest of my life I would wonder. To know that I escaped murder charges. It's not the end of the world, I was pregnant at 16 and had my daughter at 17. It's not easy and I don't condone teenage pregnancy or premarital sex and such but it's possible to have a normal life. As long as you can do for yourself. Don't rely on other people to help you, either, they will only let you down.

I am so sorry to hear that you are in the situation to have to make this decision and I'm not sure you can do it under 18 w/o a parent there. I am a mother of two and if I could give some advce, I would carry the baby and look into adoption. I know you are against it, but it would give a couple who are not able to have children a chance to be parents as these people have very high dreams too....of becoming parents. If you can do this at 17 I would give it a shot as your baby deserves the best. I hope this helps and feel free to email me if you need more advice or someone to talk to as I will not judge you....I promise.

I think you have the right to chose what's the best for you.
You sound very mature. I believe you can take this decision by your own. Don'T listen to people who'll tell you abortion is a murder. Having a baby in wrong condition is a murder.
You have to prepare your adult life. You are a student and you should remain as is until you are finished with you education.
You are very couragous. Hold on to your life and focus on yourself.
In Canada an abortion is about 150$.
I really do feel sorry for you... I would love to get news from you. If you need to talk, feel free to contact me by email.
Take good care of you :)

Well damn She did not ask for ya'll advice, she asked how much does it cost to get an abortion? All them comments she don't need.She already suicidal ya'll not making it any better by ya'll comments. If you taking alot of medication now don't you think that will harm your fetus anyway.
I know it depends on how far along you are.
Do what you think is best for you.
After all nobody online will not be able to give you help when needed with your child when you will need it.

Listen if you are really into having an aborting and that is your last last option then don't listen to these people on here. you can just ask your gynocologist. Some of them do it in office and it should be a few hundred bucks ( i am not sure ) but I am sure even your general dr. can guide you in the right direction.
I am all for pro choice and it's your body and you can do what you want to it. It's really a shame that people on here are just adding to your hard decision that you are going to have to make. and although you can do whatever you want to yourself or unfortunately your unborn baby but just make sure you have thought this full Completely. Once you go through with it there is noo turning back.
and next time you decide to have sex...Please use birth control so this cannot happen again in the future. And although I said I am pro choice doesn't mean that I would have an abortion Ever(cause I wouldn't) But just having the option is nice to know.

Your happiness and your parent's approval at the expense of someone else's life... Why kill someone just cause you weren;t responible in your decision making and are now fearing other people's reactions? Grow up, be mature and take responsibility... and ask the idiot who got you there to be responsible as well... Don't hide behind the depression and thoughts of suidide!!! Get help!!! Also, why do you care what your Dad will say, if he's never even beena positive influence? Abortion isn't gonna give you a clean slate... if you are so depressed and sick, having one will only cause more scars and emotional problems... my Mom had an abortion at about your age and she feels so guilty now and misinformed... the doctors lied toher about treatment for a sickness she had and said the baby would be deformed... It was a lie and she's having problems with her decision... you are not unlike many other girls, but at least you are trying to inform yourself. The subject, however, is not the right one... Don't you have other family members that can help? Maybe your father will mature the hell up if he found out he's gonna have a grandchild to carry on his name... Don't give up!!! Be strong, BE the person you needed when you were a child to your own... Good Luck and get professional help; if you didn't care about yourself you wouldn't be taking medications to make things better. Somethin gin you wants to live and achieve your goals... but part of gettign there is learning from mistakes... if the baby's father doesn't man up, ask for child support...

The price for abortion depends on stage of pregnancy, where you live, whether or not insurance covers it, if your insurance covers all or part, if your state has state Medicaid for low-income people, etc. First trimester abortions cost about $300 - $600. Second trimester, $500 - $5000.
Some clinics will allow payment plans. Ask when you call to make the appointment. Also ask about the full cost because sometimes there are added costs in addition to a flat fee.

OK ignore the rude answers in here. Some people dont have any heart at all.Most of them were guys as you could see..ANYWAY-Im sorry you are going through this.. You need to do what is right for you and ONLY YOU. Remember that. If you feel the only way out is abortion than do it. If you want to put the baby up for adoption than look into places. There are plenty options.Just look around and get some help...

Im am not sure how much an abortion cost but you need to get some help because you should love yourself and do what only you think is the right thing to do, no matter your choice God will still love you and help you get through your rough times, I personaly think that a baby is not what you need at the momment. With abortion at least you know you baby is with God and not with evil foster or adoptive parents.
