I'm 16, and i think i may be pregnant. Ok so, I can't tell my parents because I know for a fact I'd be kicked out of my house, completley rejected, and they'd never get past it. Does anyone know places to get an abortion with cheaper prices than $400? I live in Pennsylvania but want to get it in NJ or NY.

First why do you want to get it in NJ or NY? Thats so far away from where you are. Thats going to cost more money. If you want to get it done for sure there are clinics that will help you get it done for free but I think most of them have to have your parents there because you are underage. I know that it really sucks and is hard but that might be the only way to do it safely. I really feel bad for your situation and I hope you find a way to get help. You might want to check the clinics around your area first before spending more money to get something done somewhere else. Please remember your safety as well. Its hard enough to be so young and no support but to have it done by someone who is not profession just so your parents wont know is very dangerous. Good Luck to you. Try to be safer when practicing sex as well, you are too young for children.

Getting it done in another state is almost impossible these days. 1) Every state has it's own abortion laws. 2) You are under age and most likely, need a gaurdian/parent permission and period of waiting 3) Residence in most states.
$400 is cheaper than thousands when baby is born.
You also should invest in birth control, condoms and not having sex knowing pregnancy, no matter what protection, can happen.
By law, they can't kick you out or they can be charged with neglect. They will be mad and I bet you would be too if your daughter, 16 was pregnant. but they will get over it as many parents have, who the teen's swore up and down they would be disowned.
My ex best friend was that way. she went 6 months with out telling her parents and swore they send her away. Which didn't happen. her mom was mad, but eventually came around.
So that 6 months of drinking, partying, smoking and not checking with doctors on the babies development was irrisponsible! all because she was putting herself first out of fear, than the baby's health.

if your parents reject you for having had a child then they aren't truly your parents. they should be there for you no matter what. how about you just talk to someone that you really trust and ask them can they help you tell your parents and if they kick you out then see if you can go live with someone else. if you keep the baby then you can save that money that you would be spending on an abortion to actually take care of your child. and you know what people are always going to have something to say about a choice you make so whatever you think is best you do it. i was just sharing my opinion on what i think would be best for you to do...also look at it this way. what if you want a child in the future you may not be able to have one because abortions not only kill an Innocent soul it also decreases your ability to have a baby in the future.

There is no quick fix!!! DO NOT GET AN ABORTION> IT IS MURDER> There are many people out there that cannot have babies and would love an opportunity to be a parent. You can't make a decision on fear. You need to talk to a pastor or someone who can help guide you. It is not the fault of an innocent baby!! Why would you kill him or her. Think before you have sex next time. You are too young too. I waited until I was 19 before I had sex. I married the guy too. Now we have 3 beautiful children.

No, I don't know of any abortionists willing to take a cut in their pay. First, go to a crisis pregnancy center to get a free, confidential pregnancy test. You may be worried for nothing. You can find a crisis pregnancy center near you by calling 1-800-395-HELP or visiting http://www.optionline.org/advantage.asp
Secondly, MANY pregnant teenagers have been surprised by the supportiveness of their parents after their parents got past their initial shock. You can connect with other currently and formerly pregnant teens here:

However, even if your parents do not support you, that is not a justification for killing your baby. Your baby didn't ask to be created and doesn't deserve to die. Just one week after you miss your period, your baby's heart is beating. If you need a safe place to stay, along with financial, material, and medical help, the crisis pregnancy center can provide you with that, too.

You don't know if you are pregnant. Your parents have made you feel that they'd throw you out if the worst thing happened, but now that it possibly HAS, they likely WON'T do it. The reality may be that you are having a baby.
I am SO against abortion, hon, that I sincerely hope you choose not to do this. IF you are pregnant (Grab 7 or 8 bucks and go get a pregnancy test from the drug store: CVS, Riteaid, Walgreens, Wal-Mart, someplace like that.) I have 1 regret in life and it is abortion.
God bless you. May He guide and protect you. If you aren't pregnant, this may be your wake up to stop the things that got you to this confused state in the first place.

First off, you need to buy a home pregnancy test and confirm whether or not you are actually pregnant. I'm sorry that you can't talk to your parents about this, but you do need to talk to someone. You are going to experience a lot of emotions, some of which you may not be expecting. As far as cost goes, I can't help you because I don't live in that area. After a little research I understand why you want to go out of state. Do you have someone you trust to take you? You need someone to drive you home from the clinic.
This website should be able to provide you with very valuable information.

You should be old enough and responsible enough to tell your parents and get a job to provide for you and your unborn child. And your parents have a right to know you had sex and got pregnant. Does the father know that you might be pregnant? You should let him in on the decision as well. Take a test first and talk to your boyfriend about what to do as he helped make the baby. You should both make the decision about what to do. If your that immature to lay down and make a kid and then get rid of it because you don't want to give up your social life at school and you friends than maybe the baby is better off dead. Go to a planned parenthood. They like killing kids.

I know this is not what you want to hear but, I really think you should talk to your Mother, she is your Mom and she loves you no matter what and you can go over your options together you also need to get the boy who may have gotten you pregnant too. After all of these please go to Planned Parenthood in your area and get some condoms, this time it may be a baby and next time you may not be so lucky and could end up with a sexually transmitted disease that will take your life.

First of all before you search the planet for abortion clinics , dont you think you should find out if your really pregnant. If you are, its time to grow up because what you do next may be the biggest decision of your life. You should really reconsider involving your parents, most likely they will at first be upset i would bet they will help you decide whats best. Abortion may be an option for you but you may consider adoption or even keeping your child. Abortion may be a quick fix but consider how that may affect you for the rest of your life. Its to bad you had to act like you were mature enough to have sex , yet in reality you were to immature, and responsible to use protection. Surely you knew how babies were made before you had the problem keeping your legs together. Good luck , i hope this time your smarter and more mature in your decision making and involve your parents.
