It shouldn't be too late. In most states, it's between 20-24 weeks.
Definitely call your local Planned Parenthood or abortion resource clinic, or OB/GYN and get confirmation ASAP.
You can also search for "your state + abortion laws" and find out.
Good luck!

And to everyone spouting off their anti-choice manifesto here: she didn't ask for your opinion on abortion, she asked a specific question. Answer the question asked, or ignore it completely.

These pro-life propoganda-spouting posts are infuriating. Ignore everyone who's screaming bloody murder, some people just can't live with the thought that not everyone holds the same opinions as them.
In the UK you can have an abortion up to 24 weeks. I don't know about the places you live, but I'm sure there can't be that much variation. The important thing is to make sure you tell someone responsible, like a sister, parent or intelligent friend, so that they can support you and go along to appointments with you. Youcan probably get through this alone, but ideally having someone to confide in and gie you moral support through any part you might find difficult would be best. Go to your family doctor, or another doctor that has a really good reputation. Explain your situation, and make sure you do a bit of research to ensure that what you're being told isn't lies. You've seen some posts here - "it's murder!" - a lot of people are like that, and they aren't above lying to make you comply. Until it can survive outside of your body alone - about 22 weeks is the absolute YOUNGEST and even then it would have a risk of disability - I believe that a foetus is part of you, and it's your right to choose what happens to your body and your life. Do what feels right for you, and don't be afraid to change your mind at the last minute whatever you decide. This might affect your life, you need to be sure it's the right decision.

You are just on the cusp of the first and second trimesters. Most doctors will not perform an abortion past 13 weeks. Talk to your doctor to determine what the best option would be at this point, because if you truly want an abortion you should have it done soon. Some states have recently made second-trimester abortions illegal.

Depends on the state you live in...pa will do them up to 24 weeks which i think is ridiculous and sad! You have to call some places in the yellow pages or look online about your states law. You are too far along for the medical abortion for sure though. Consider all your options and make sure it is for you...everybody i know regrets it. Good luck.
EDIT: Also,the farther along you are the more expensive it is and its not cheap to begin with (my aunt and cousin had one)...consider adoption?

Yes it is way to late if you have one it would be murder-----
check this out!
Crown to rump, your baby is around 3 and a half inches / 9 centimetres long and weighs one and a half ounces / 43 grams. The body is now growing faster than the head. This week, its parchment-thin skin covers itself with lanugo (ultra-fine, downy hair that usually disappears before birth). Though eyebrows are beginning to grow and the hair on top of the head is sprouting, this hair may change in both texture and colour after birth.
About now, the fetus can grasp, squint, frown, and grimace. It may even be able to suck its thumb. Researchers believe these and other movements probably correspond to the development of impulses in the brain.

depends on your state. u cant do it that late in most of the south but in n.y. u can go til like 5 mos. it costs a pretty penny tho.... to the tune of $3000.
not to insult ur intelligence but once its done its done so think hard. you can get some materials to read upon the procedure and the feelings u might experience even before u go. good luck.
and to all the people tryin to hate on u *screw em* they arent going to raise ur kid so they have no room to talk.

yes, but if you decided to not want the precious little child.
then go to a local pregnancy center they can offer free counseling and refferals to adoption agencies.
life is the best, there is so many parents out there that want a child and cant.
dont hurt the baby for a change of mind, would you like someone to do that to you?
anyway, me i am mom of 4 and wouldnt have it any other way!!!
