She's probably further along than either of you are figuring out. My advice would be to learn the ins and outs of sex. Actually find out what you are doing, rather than spending the time doing it. Find out about ovulation dates and cycles and the life span of a sperm. If you make the decision to abort a child, try to do something to keep this from happening to someone else. Educate others so your decision doesn't go in vain. I have a friend who has had 2 abortions and given a baby up for adoption. (abortion, adoption, abortion) She had the baby because she couldn't stand the idea of having another abortion, had the 2nd abortion because she couldn't stand the idea of giving the baby up for adoption. There's no winning combination, but the child is needs a good environment with the best chance of growing up to be a happy, productive adult. The child deserves to be brought into an environment where they will be protected from sexual abuse, physical, mental abuse. On that note, I wish you luck in your decision and I believe in fate...so whatever happens is meant to be. God knows the end of every story; He has the last page written before the first page even starts.

One week pregnant? How do you even know she's pregnant? Or do you mean that she is one week late. That would make her around 5-6 weeks pregnant. Anyways, yes she can have an abortion. Depending on where you live you can have an abortion until the 14th week and 6th day or sometimes until the 24th week of pregnancy. It's always better to do it earlier though.
Of course she can still have children after an abortion! While sometimes rare complications do occur that can cause problems with future fertility, it's probably not going to happen to her. Make sure she goes to her post abortion check up though.
Abortion is at least 10 times safer than full term labour as far as mortality rates go. Plenty of women have abortions and go on to have children with not problems. Plenty of 'prolife' groups will tell you other wise. Your best bet for information about abortion would be from Planned Parenthood and their website as well as your doctor. I had an abortion and my doctor was an OBGYN. He usually delivered babies. He told me that some of his patients would come to him one year for an abortion and a few years later for a birth.
Your relationship is going to be a little rocky after this. All pregnancies cause women to go nuts and men to have to deal with it. If you really love her, this will be a test for that love. Many relationships don't make it through this sort of ordeal but, mine did. I know it can work. Good luck!

At one week pregnant how do you know she IS indeed pregnant? Tests don't show a pregnancy that early and her HCG levels wouldn't be so high that they would cause a dr to say definitely she is pregnant as sometimes that level fluctuates with ovulation and hormonal imbalances. An ultrasound wouldn't show much of anything at all either and they would have to do a trans-vaginal ultrasound to see anything at all. I suppose she COULD get an abortion if that is her CHOICE. Is she of age? Can the two of you afford it? Yes in most cases she can have children afterwards but why would you want one later if you don't want one now? Sometimes the woman is so emotionally scarred from having an abortion that her brain shuts her body down and will not allow conception to take place. Sometimes something gets hurt up there and ruins her chances of having a child. But most cases yes it is possible for her to concieve. I say you give this some time and discuss all of your options. If she is only a week along (though I have no idea how you would know) you have some time to think and I thoroughly encourage you to do so. There was a lady on another answer that had links to pics of babies who had been aborted... it was awful and it totally changed any thoughts of me ever allowing it to be done to me and I think you should research what a baby goes through before you just up and abort it. And also your girlfriend should because this is a major decision and it could scar both of you for life. Check into a Planned Parenthood and they can help you get it done. They can help you financially as well if need be.

It depends on how old she is. I think you may be mistaken on the 1 week pregnant thing though. Sounds like she maybe 1 month pregnant. Has she taken a pregnancy test? Was it positive? These two questions need answered first. Then you need to look into all your options, do not just try to make the situation go away. Don't be afraid to get outside help in making your decision. Your community should have a crisis pregnancy center which is very helpful in counseling young couples and providing them with things that they need. Planned parenthood is another good community service organization. Your local health dept. I personally would use abortion as the last resort.

first, you can't find out if you're pregnant that soon, i;m assuming you meant that you've known for a week.
you can have an abortion normally up until the baby is 16 weeks along. However, each state and sometimes each individual clinic has it's own rules regarding how far along a woman can be.
also, it sounds like you could be kind of young, and some clinics require parental consent or parental knowledge. it al depends on the clinic and the state. you just need to do your research and ask.
and yes, she can still have kids after an abortion. it shouldn't effect that.
but please research all of your options and make sure that this is what SHE truly wants to do. it is a life altering decision and she must, MUST be emotionally prepared for everything that she is about to put herself through. make sure she thoroughly looks at all of her options such as keeping it or putting it up for adoption. ultimately this is her decision, but your baby shouldn't pay the price for your carelessness.
please, from now on either use a reliable form of birth control or don't have sex until you are ready for this potential responsibility.

yes she can get an abortion, up untill 14 weeks if i'm not mistaken. and yes, there should be no reason that she should not be able to concieve after an abortion. try keeping a condom on and having her take some form of birth control from now on. remember, abortions are not a form of birth control.

If she wants an abortion, yes she can have one. And she can have kids after, as long as nothing goes majorly wrong. It's not so much the "soonest she can have it" she should worry about, but the latest she is comfortable with having one.

if it is your girlfriends choice to have an abortion then she can have one anytime within the first trimester. Having an abortion could hinder her chances of conceiving again if done by someone who does not know what he or she is doing. Abortion is definitely not something to be taken lightly, you have time to think about it, research it, and decide what would be best for you.

Yes .. your girlfriend can get an abortion.
& I've heard that it makes it harder down the line to carry out a pregnancy after you've had abortions.. but it's very possible.
I would suggest getting her on birth control pills to prevent ya'll from having to go through this again.. and multiple abortions are unhealthy..
