I really hate to hear that you feel like you are in the position where you have no where else to turn but abortion. There are many couples out there, including my wife and I, who are not able to have children and would love to adopt a baby. You seem to have your mind set on having an abortion, but I wish you would reconsider. My wife and I have been married for 10 years. My wife went through all kinds of stuff to get pregnant including surgeries, fertility drugs, and years of pain due to endometriosis. I have included a link to a website that will give you more information on abortion and how to find a clinic near to you. I hope you will make the right decision. You will be in my prayers.

Cherry Hill Women's Center
Metropolitan Medical Associates
Women's Choice Medical Center
South Jersey Women's Center
Call those places and see which is least expensive, determined by how far along you are and everything. Metropolitan Medical and Women's Choice both have coupons for website visitors ... it doesn't say how much but I get the feeling the initial consultation is free or something like that.
There is no parental consent law in New Jersey.
There is also no 24-hour waiting period, as there is in some other states ... meaning, as soon as they confirm you're pregnant and they ask what you want to do, they can perform the procedure if you have the money to pay for it.
Fees range from $390 - $600. If you test positive call immediately and the cost will be closer to the lower end of the range (for a medical abortion ... the pill). The absolute cheapest in New Jersey appears to be vacuum aspiration ... odd. In Louisiana vacuum aspiration is cheaper than the pill.
Sorry I can't post more info on those places. You never know who might read this and then mail them a bomb or something.

I am 21 years old. My mom had my at 30, and had my brother at 32. We are the only 2 she has. Her age means nothing, she is still my mom and we do everything together. So no you are not too old. She is the best momma, and SHE did it as a single parent since my brother was born. She didnt think she was too old, she thought she had us at the perfect time in her life. :) And so do my brother and I. :) About the abortion part. I had an abortion late last year. And it STAYS with you. You have 2 kids already so you know what you are doing when it comes to caring for them, especially now that you have been through it. I can see where he is coming from, but YOU are carrying the little angel, not him. If you are thinking about keeping it, then there is your answer. Your heart wants it, you dont want to carry the burden of having an abortion the rest of your life. If you do have an abortion, you will realize how young you really are, cuz you still have the rest of your life to live with it. And since you have kids of your own, you know EXACTLY what you would be killing. I dont mean to preach, as I did have one. All I am saying is I think about it all the time, and you already have a family. Silly side note: I have 4 cats, and 2 dogs. (Im not comparing kids to animals guy. lol) Anytime I get a new one, I ask my mom if I should keep it, she always says "Whats one more, but one more to love?" SO, in conclusion, you should keep it and tell your man that you are not killing your baby. And then tell him "Whats one more, but one more to love?" Hope everything goes well for you, whatever decision you make. God Bless You. :)

In New Jersey there is technically a parental noticification law saying that if you are under 18 your parents must be notified. According to what I found online however, this law has not been inforced since 2000. A first trimester surgical abortion generally costs $300-$375. It can cost up to $600. Late term abortions (after 12 weeks) are banned in your state. In most places you are required to first go to a counceling session and are encouraged to bring a support person. I've included the planned parenthood link, in addition to more information it also has other resources and can tell you where to go to get a pregnancy test/protection.
Please think very hard about your decison. There are other options if you should choose to take them.

First dont listen to the pro-lifers they are idiots.
Moving on....
Planned parenthood charges on a sliding V scale mean you pay what you can and nothing more. Some states you need permission some not.
Here are your local centers:
http://plannedparenthood.org/findCenterProcess.asp
Or call them:1-800-230-PLAN
They will give you all the help you need.
Here is info on abortion from their website: http://www.plannedparenthood.org/birth-control-pregnancy/abortion-4260.htm
If you arent pregnant go anyway they can give you free birth control. Learn more here:
http://www.plannedparenthood.org/birth-control-pregnancy/birth-control-4211.htm
Here is the PP of NJ:
http://www.plannedparenthoodnj.org/
New Jersey has no consent laws as of now.
Good luck! Remember your body your choice. If you want to talk e-mail me through answers.

Like I said on your other question, you are in a tough spot and have a difficult choice. There are no easy answers. I would recommend talking to your parents, but if not talk to a counselor. All the women's health centers that ACADIA listed above most likely will help you get some advice to help you with your decision. Planned Parenthood will also help you get professional advise if you feel you cannot talk to your parents. You have my best wishes and hopes. There are no easy answers in this place. Do what is truly right for you.

Depending on your age you will need to get your parents permission.Even if you go to planned parent hood. I live in Texas though and I dont know if its the same for your state but here an abortion is 500 dollars including the consultation fee. I know this because my friend got one. She it was summer of her Junior year and the father was about to be a Senior. They still got it done because what you have to do is go to the courthouse and get reviewed by a judge and get papers signed saying that you dont need your parents permission. It's not that much of a hassle but it takes some time. They got it done anyway without their parents knowing so just check it out. Or call Planned Parenthood and see what they have to say about it

I know a few states like New York I believe have laws where you dont have to have a adult with you. Depending on if your going to get the medical abortion or the surgical abortion is going to decide the cost. The medical abortion, all you do is take a few pills and it makes you have a miscarage. A surgical abortion is where a doctor will preform the surgery (your awake and it takes only 5-10min). It can cost anywhere from $300-$800 depending on your state. And surgical abortions tend to be cheaper. Your best bet is to go to www.plannedparenthood.org and see if they have any clinics around you. Research on the site which abortion you want, and then find a clinic. You can also do a seach on yahoo, just type in abortion clinics in "New Jersey" (if thats not where you live sorry but type in where you live). Dont listen to alof of the people who are going to call you a killer and everything else. Good luck with what you do!

This is a tough subject it really depends on the state you live in. 1. if they provide abortions. 2, If they require an age status and/or parental consent. 3.If you have access to them. If you have access to a planned parenthood you may be able to have one free or very low cost other than that you will be around $1000.00. Good Luck, try adoption if all else fails.

First of all you never HAVE to have an abortion, I had my first daughter when I was 15 (freshman) and she is the joy of my life. Yes it's scary, but things like this happen for a reason. It's not that baby's fault that you LET yourself get pregnant, so you shouldn't take it out on the child. You should really consider adoption or something if you don't want the kid. But just because you're not ready to have one, doesn't mean that an innocent child should be murdered. And that's what it is, do you even know what they do to children when they abort them? It's horrible.
