Pregnant, Abortion or not?

Question

I found out i'm pregnant, and my husband wants me to have an abortion. We don't have isurance to cover delivery, and we cant afford it. But i don't really like the ideal of an abortion and im considering keeping the baby, cause abortion scares me and i already have mental issues and that would just make it worse. So what options are out there for me? How can i have it and pay for delivery? Or would abortion be best?

Answer 1

Some programs out there will help you out with your growing family. Also you could put the baby up for adoption if you don't want to go that route.

Answer 2

Abortion is not the way honey. How are you going to afford that. I would say adoption. Abortion gives you a memory that you will live with for life. and so does adoption. But at least you will know that someone is loving your child the way that you cant. And you wont have to deal with the fact that you killed your baby. You can put the baby up for adoption and see if the family will pay your hospitol bill. My best friend had an abortion, and she still regrets it til this day that was 7 years ago. And she always talks about it. Like my baby would have been 7 this year. I would have did this and that. And now she can afford a child even though she cant have any now. After the abortion. She lost the ability to have one. she can get preg. but the chances of the baby living are slim to none. Think about it.

This is a very personal decision. If you are low income you can apply for public assistance..if not, there are other programs available and even private insurance companies that provide maternity care. Unfortunately, either way you go, it is going to be very costly. There is always the option to put the baby up for adoption also...In which case, there are plenty of couples out there who cannot have children and would love your baby as if it were there own. There are also couples who will pay the maternity fees to adopt your child. If you are completely against adoption...and you can't afford the medical billls to have your baby then you probably cannot afford to raise a child either. In this case, abortion may be your only option. Abortion is a very hard decision to make, and it is one that you will have to live with for the rest of your life. I will not rant and rave about abortion being murder because I have been there before and I believe it is your right to choose. If you do decide that abortion is the best thing for you...I suggest you seek counseling at your local womens or family planning center before and after the procedure. You will get through it and you will be okay but you need to seriously think about it and prepare yourself for the emotional toll it may take on you and on your relationship with your husband. In addition, I suggest that you find some sort of reliable birth control method to avoid getting yourself into this situation again.
Good luck and my prayers are with you.

well abortion would be the best option if you don't have a problem with having your baby killed becouse its not convient for you and your husband. 94% of abortions in the U.S. are for convience. Let me ask you a question? Lets say you both lost your job and you had both had to find a new job, but didn't get insurance for at least three months. Now your child developed cancer and you knew you had no insurance to cover medical expenses. Would you have your 6 year old child killed becouse you knew the child would not be covered under medical expenses. Of course not. You would find a way to get your child the proper treatment, so that your child does not same. If you wouldn't have your six year old child kill then why would you have your baby killed? Their are many options avalable to you. You can apply for a wick program and food stamps. This would cover the cost of food for your baby. You can also consider adopting the baby if you can't afford the deliever costs. The people adopting your baby pay for everything. You can also apply for medicad if your having trouble trouble. Most people that commit abortion feel really depressed after having an abortion. I wish you good luck on making your desision

Answer 5

Ok you're against abortion and money is the only issue? You cannot terminate for that reason. There are definately programmes out there, talk this over with your doctor who will put you on the right track. Also if you cannot afford the delivery maybe you cannot afford the costs of the baby, you should get in contact with an adoption agency. Best of luck

Answer 6

Don't put the baby up for adoption. That would be extremely silly. You shouldn't feel mentally or emotionally wrong about terminating a pregnancy if it was an accident. A child should be able to grow up in a healthy household wanted by _both_ of its parents, not born into money troubles.

But, yes, if you do want to keep it, just go to a Planned Parenthood. They'll tell you what financial-assistance and other support programs are available for new mothers. Planned Parenthood might be able to pay medical expenses for the birth itself and for care during your pregnancy.

Answer 7

Your state can depending on your finaces, give you free mediacl insurance while pregnant. Also your hubby might be just running scared right now, ababy changes a lot, But belive me, there are no mistakes in pregnancys. God is the creater of life, it is said in the biblethat he knots us together in our mothers womb. I belive abortion is murder. My mother had an abortion after my Father raped her, she still till this day, over 20 years, has guilt. She did get pregnant agin and gave that child up for adoption, open adoption and has kept in touch every now and then. Explain to your husband if abortion is about female rights, then you should be the decion maker on this, and trust yourself to make the best decision, and if abortion is all "a womans right to choose" what about the childs right, what if its a girl, what then have her rights become? A baby is Gods gift, even if you cant care for it, please carry it full term until you can adopt it out. If you choose adoption sometimes the agency will give you health insurance too, check in to it, and reach out to family and friends.

Answer 8

Check in your local yellow pages for adoption services. A lot of them have so many couples desperate for a child to love. Some of them will even pay your medical bills. Abortion is a very serious thing, and you have to really know that is your best option.
But if you go that route, you have to be sure. There are possible legal implications depending on your state if the adoption service pays your bills, then you change your mind. I hope this helps

Answer 9

A baby is a huge financial commitment, if you cannot afford the delivery what makes you think you can afford the child? Abortion now is a very real option. Don't go the adoption route, you will never give the child up and be stuck with the financial expenses that will follow. Childless couples should come to terms with the fact that they were not meant to be parents. Take responsibility for your actions and have the abortion. It is not a child yet, just a clump of cells.

Answer 10

There are programs out there like Medicade which is for woman who are pregnant who cant afford, or dont have insurance. Its through the state, and you can get info on it from places like planned parenthood, or even searching for job and family services for your county. They pay for just about everything, and it covers you until a certain time frame after the baby is born. Then you can continue the plan for your child. Its a good plan if you dont mind taking help from the state.

Answer 11

Find the medicaid program for moms in your state. A local health clinic will have the information and they will also show you all of your options ....GOOD LUCK SWEETIE ! I live in LOusiaiana and the program is called LA MOMS and they pay for everything . I hope that this helps you a little bit. Sweetie....an abortion is not in your best interst ...just by the way you "sound" . At least the two of you are married..it could be a lot worse.
