Can I Get An Abortion?

Question

I am 15 I live in Minnesota I have no money and no desire for this baby help

Answer 1

If you don't want the baby, try to get someone to adapt him or her.

Answer 2

I was 14 years old baby on the way, boyfriend at the time said that he had a football career and college and I had softball and college and that we didn't need a baby. He had no desire for the child and I did. I wasn't ready for the child, no money, and he wasn't going to stick around to help me with the child. Jerk huh?! I had an abortion. Sweetheart, it's very hard to deal with the after effects of having an abortion. My daughter would be 3 and a half. I knew my due date March 3, 2003! There's no a single day that goes by that I don't think about her and what she'd look like and how her voice would sound. I have had nightmares about her every since I the abortion. I will not sit here and tell you what to do because I know how it is when people who have no idea what you are going through tell you what to do! You just need to think long and hard about the pros and cons, I'll help you with that if you don't mind...

*-feelings after the abortion-depressed-anger-dad not helping-the physcial and emotional pain afterwards-people talking about you for what you've done (let's face it not alot of people agree on abortion)-*-you have a child to watch grow up (motherhood is an amazing thing)-, many women have a child and raise them without the help of a father-...you could give the baby up for adoption....make this choice for you not anyone else..hope i helped

Answer 3

I don't know your state laws. Look in the phone book under abortion and call one of the clinincs. They will tell you your rights. As far as the financial end of things, you, unfortunately are on your own. There are no government agencies willing to hand over cash for an abortion. Please do not waste time if you feel this is how you will settle your problem. Also, if you are going to be sexual active take care of yourself. That includes, but is not limited to using condoms and getting on the pill or some other form of birth control. I only say this because I have been where you are at and your decision is not an easy one. My decision stayed with me long after the act.

Answer 4

That is really sad...My sister was 15 too when she got pregnant she had an abortion and felt so bad she ended up getting pregnant again in a few months, My neice is almost 3 now! She is so wonderful my sister wasn't ready but babies truly are a joy, things changed but now she has someone who never looks down on her, always loves her, and will never leave. You can find plenty of women who regret abortions but I bet you wont find one who regrets having her baby. You have to make the decision that is best for you, I hope you would consider adoption, you can find a family that cant have babies and they will raise the baby and you can go back to school. I hope you have learned about protecting yourself now!!!

Answer 5

I think abortion is cruel and murder of a human being that didn't ask for a death sentence. Why not think about adoption? Adoption is an alternative that comes out of love. There are so many couples here in the US that are not able to have children. Think about it and nowadays they have open adoption where you can see your baby and get pictures and this decsion will not haunt you for the rest of your life like an abortion would. A word to the wise get some birth control and more importantly have your partner wear a condom every time you have sex. Good luck to you.

Answer 6

Hi Jess!! :o) I understand how you might think that by having an abortion - you'll be able to forget about it. But it doesn't work that way. You will NEVER be able to forget about it. Please don't try to correct a 'mistake' by making an even bigger mistake. Have the baby and allow someone to experience the joy of having a baby that they might not otherwise be able to have. [Give it up for adoption - in other words] Find the courage to do the right thing. It won't be easy. But at least least maybe you can turn something 'bad' into something that is 'good'. And while you're pregnant - take extra special care of your health. Don't smoke, drink or do drugs. Craig!! :o)

Answer 7

Whether you have a desire for a baby or not, you have one, and your baby is depending on you, her mommy, for love and protection. There is plenty of help available for you. Go to a pregnancy care center in your area, and they can give you referrals for financial, medical, and legal assistance, help finding a safe place to stay if you need it, a free ultrasound so you can see your baby (at some centers), pregnancy, parenting, and adoption information, and counseling and emotional support. You can find one near you here:

or by calling 1-800-395-HELP. All of their services are completely free and completely confidential.

Did you know that just three weeks after conception (one week after you miss your period), your baby's heart is already beating? You can read more information about your baby's development and about other aspects of abortion here:

Advice on Telling Parents About a Pregnancy:

Please don't do something you'll regret the rest of your life. Let your baby live.

Answer 8

Please don't. I had one for "medical reasons" and have regretted it ever since. You will live the rest of your life knowing you killed an innocent child, your child.

You mentioned money. Did you know it costs money to have an abortion, especially if you end up having complications like infection or excess bleeding (which are fairly common)? Have the baby and then give it up for adoption. Someone out there will take your child and love it like their own, especially if they can't have any for themselves.

I leave it up to you to do the right thing. I will be praying for you and your baby.

Answer 9

Contact and find nearest clinic so you can discuss yourr options and get counseling that is required in most states prior to abortion.

You can also gain information upon your state's abortion laws. Not all states allow abortions. Not all states allow abortions after certain weeks (some allow up to 12, some 16 and some 24. None past 24). Not all states allow abortion with out parental permission too.

Answer 10

Give the baby up for adoption. You need to think before you do! Look in the yellow pages under Adoption. Give that baby up to someone who would love to have a baby!

Answer 11
