They will help you out funds, and don't listen to everyone else, I've been in your position, and I don't regret having an abortion, in fact I think it's very closed-minded and ignorant to tell someone else what to do with their life, just ignore them, do what ever you think is right.

There are so many families out there who would love to get your child a home and happy life. Why abort your child when there are that many opportunities? Families will even pay for your health care and delivery while you are pregnant, all for the opportunity to finally have a child. You have been givin a gift, and perhaps you can't give everything you wish you could to that child right now, but there are others who can.
Before you decide on an abortion, educate yourself. Make sure you understand what exactly an abortion does. I am not going to give you the details, but I will tell you it is horrifying. Many women have had abortions and realize very quickly what a mistake it was. There are support groups across the country filled with women who have had to seek counciling following making this mistake. It not only ends one life, but damages another. Is this abortion worth taking the risk that you may not be able to live with yourself after? You may regret an abortion, but you will never regret giving a child a family, and a family a chance to fulfill there dreams.
Don't fall for the "fetus" talk. People want to say a fetus is not a life. Think about this: when describe someone as dead when their heart stops beating. It would follow then that people are alive if their heart is beating. A child heart starts beating days after conception, before most women know they are pregnant. A little more than a month after conceptions, a baby has brain activity. Babies in the womb move in response to sounds, and even hit at and grasp foriegn objects (such as surgical needles) when they are inserted into the womb. What happens at the passing from womb to world that suddenly makes the child different? Nothing! You would be horrified if a woman where to kill her child moments after birth, but it's the same child that was inside her, so what has changed?
Maybe you are embarrassed that people will know you are pregnant. Don't be scared. Do you think it will be easier to tell people you are giving life to a child, or to tell them you made a mistake you didn't want to be responsible for and ended a life?
Please look into all your options. So many lives go into the dumpster every year. Thank God our parents didn't choose the option you are considering, because I've loved having the chance to live, haven't you?

I'm not sure but, I do know that there are funds out there for women who desperately need abortions and cannot afford them. I had an abortion in Canada and luckily up here at least in the province I was living in, abortions were paid by the tax payers. I couldn't believe when I heard about all the funds in America for pregnant women having babies but, the few for abortions. It's disgusting!
I think your local planned parenthood will be able to inform you more about your funding options and where you can get money. There are a few programs. Maybe this is one of them.
Don't listen to the idiots out there who are trying to scare you away from having an abortion. If you know that it's the right thing for you to do in this situation, then it's the right thing to do. I actually regret my tattoo a lot more than I regret my abortion!! Yes, there's a few emotional after effects but, it's mostly hormonal. It's like post partum depression. You might want some support for the first few months but, after that you should be fine.
Right after the abortion is when the pro-lifers are going to try and get at you and inflict as much damage to you and call you murderer so, be strong! Luckily I didn't have to see any protesters but I had to deal with a group of anti-choice nurses, you see in Canada abortions are done in hospitals and they send you up to the OBGYN clinic first with all the fat pregnant women and nurses who just want to take care of babies not women who have abortions but, pro-lifers are just ignorant abusers and women haters anyways.
Good luck!

If you get an abortion, it will be part of you for the rest of your life. This isn't like you're getting your ears pierced, or your gall bladder removed.
No matter how you think about abortion now, you'll have to deal with the 65+% of the population that believes that abortion is wrong, and that the "fetus" is a real human being. In time, there is a significant chance you'll join them too, and the guilt will be huge.
Worse yet, I've got friends... two husband-wife couples... who have everything needed to raise kids, but can't have them. They can't find a baby in the USA to adopt because of the abortions.

If you're considering aborting your child, you really need to take a look at the facts. Please keep in mind that the people who are selling abortions (like Planned Parenthood) are not going to give you unbiased information. Be fully informed:

I would suggest that you contact your local planned parenthood to set up an exam and then proceed with what your options are.
They will be able to direct you and give you information regardless of what you decide to do.
Not everyone feels the same about abortion.
Weigh your options and do what you think you can live with, with out regret. If you choose to abort ...get as much info about it as possible so you know what to expect if and when you decide.
Trust yourself on this matter.

I think if you want to go down that road you should have to pay for it yourself. It seems that everyone including your baby has to pay for your mistakes. Do you know how lucky you are to have a baby? There are so many different options for you. Before you take a life check them out. And next time use PROTECTION!!!!!!!!!

Your Planned Parenthood office should be able to advise you about this.

ive never heard of them, but reconcider, if you dont want i kid, you shouldnt have had sex!!! you knew by becoming sexually active it would be possible to get pregnant, and if you didnt want to get pregnant, then you shouldnt have become sexually active.... idk if u did or not, but use protection, and idk if u are on the pill or not, but if u arent, get on it.... do both if ur gonna be sexually active, and be prepared for that small chance of getting pregnant! i know this was probably NO help... but seriously, think about....
