Don't have sex unless you are ready for the responsibility of having a child.
And, yes, I have taken my own advice.

It will cost a few hundred dollars. The best thing for you to do right now is to start calling clinics and hospitals in your area and try to find a price range. There is also a limited amount of state funding for people with a low income who can't afford abortions. I'm Canadian though so I don't know how you get that. Ask the people at the clinic. If you happen to be Canadian, abortion is covered by provincial health care (tax payers!) and you won't have to pay a cent.
Don't bother listening to these fools who are lying to you "it will cost you so much spiritually and emotionally" it's a load of crap. I've been there and I'm okay and very glad I had an abortion. Sometimes I'm even glad I got pregnant so I could have an abortion. It's a long complicated story but, it doesn't matter. What matters is you! If you feel like abortion is the right choice for you, then do it! If you have doubts, explore those doubts. How serious are your doubts? My doubts and negative feelings were definitely hormonal. It took me a few months to level out again and realise it was one of the best decisions of my life.

Abortions can cost between $200 to 700 around here for non-surgical. Depending what clinic, insurance and how far along you are determines what procedure. (surgical or non surgical).
"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." There is also some funding systems as well to those who qualify for it.
from: http://www.fwhc.org/qa/ab-cost2.htm
Go down to your local planned parenthood or local woman's clinic to set up the counseling appointment to discuss the issue. www.abortionclinic.org has a dictionary of national abortion clinics. Most states who legalize abortion have a 24 hour waiting period after counseling is done before you can go back in for the procedure. You also need to know how far along you are since abortion is cut off between 12, 16 or 24 weeks, depending on what county and state you come from.
I get so annoyed when people put their personal beliefs as the answer instead of medical facts you asked for. Such as name calling or forcing religious standpoints is extremly conflicting on their part and wrong.
Not everyone believes in God. Some religions believe in more than one God actually.
What makes people think that you didn't use protection?? Uh, news flash people, even the best protection fails. Most abortions surveyed in 2004 was from condom/birthcontrol fails/errors.
Sex doesn't equal baby production. Telling a person to not have sex is extremly ignorant since being ready for sex and parenting are two complet different stages and readiness. Because you are ready for sex doesn't mean ready for parenthood.
As far as there is so many families who want children and can't have them. If that was the case, we wouldn't have so many in foster care and adoption agencies right now. The reason why the number is high is because not many families want to adopt and women's rights to abort is taken away so this unwanted pregnancies are going to be unwanted kids in our foster care. Don't believe me, check it out for yourself. As far as "loving homes". I knew a lot of kids growing up who hated their adopted families and some were even abused. Sugar coating adoption so can mulipulate a person to choose your believe is intruding to me.
I sure hope I help and good luck in the choice you decide to do.
In the mean time you two could still look at your other two options: keeping and adoption: opened or closed just to make sure this is 100% what you two want to do.

Don't have an abortion. Don't go to Planned Parenthood
as they might try to talk you into an abortion (as that is
what they do). There are other agencies that will help you
out. Then put your sweet innocent baby up for adoption so
a childless couple can love it and call it their own and
raise it up. You will then have peace of mind about it,
How could you even think about cutting that growing
baby in your body up in pieces? Just say no.

I'll keep my opinions about abortion to myself as that is NOT what you are asking. As others suggested - try planned parenthood or a local clinic. I honestly have no idea how much one would cost- but I can assure you that it is LESS than raising a child. Financially - monetarily speaking.

And before everyone sends me email.... I am an adopted child and I agree with adoption over abortion. But my opinions have no bearing on this girl, nor should I judge her based on the decision she and her boyfriend have made. I learned a long time ago that the only one I can judge and force to live by my standards is myself. Whether I agree with abortion or not, does not influence my answer to her question.

nothing you could be facing right now is worth the guilt you will experiance in the future if you abort this baby. This CHILD growing inside you is a precious gift from God. There are so many people out there who are waiting to adopt a baby and many are willing to help you out through your pregnancy by providing you medical care and a healthy enviorment for you to live in. Try checking with an adoption agency about this. Some people are even willing to have an open adoption were they will send you letters and pictures of your child or you may choose a closed adoption.

First of all, I'd rather be a Bible thumper than a selfish liberal <~~~ (not directed at you, but another poster) Don't kill an innocent child. There are 100's of moms and dads out there that are unable to have a child. Your child would be grateful that you gave him/her life, and that family would be more than happy to have a wonderful little baby in their life. I've never had an abortion, never will, but I do believe it's something you'll regret.

It will cost you your decency, your mental and emotional health, and your soul. You should have thought of "we are nowhere near ready to take care of a baby right now" before you had sex.
Please consider giving this baby up for adoption. There are thousands of people unable to have children in America who would gladly raise your baby for you. Just because you have the right to an abortion doesn't make it the right thing to do. Your "choice" has been made, the baby inside you is a living, separate being with his/her own rights to not be killed by his mommy.

You should have thought about that before jumping in bed with each other and not using protection. and that is NOT an excuse for having an abortion. so you better get yourself ready to take care of it or give it up for an adoption. but dont end someone's life because you were too damn lazy to use protection and dont want to take care of your mistake.

I would think it would be over $500. Do you have insurance. Some do cover abortions. Go to Planned Parenthood and they should point you in the right direction. Really consider what you are doing, if you haven't already. Think of all the options. Whatever you decide--best of luck and God bless!
