it does not matter if it is legal do you want to think about killing a child for the rest of your life. For whatever reason you don't feel like you can raise a child give it to a family who can, adoption

I have a non sharable problem and had to make that some choice last year but decided not to. Do what you think and feel is right, the decision you make will stay with you forever but you have to do what is right for you. Take time to think things through, do not be pressured into keeping a baby or having an abortion because when all is said and done you will be the one left holding the ball. Make the wise choice one that is best for you

My name is Claudia and I have a 3 month old. Sure things get hard and stressful, but I never thought I could be this happy loving this little life, getting up in the night to feed her, dressing her up in outfits, etc. My husband and I love watching her grow and learn. I have a feeling if you will give this parenting thing a try - you will like it too. Sure it's hard at times, but extremely rewarding 99% of the time.
If you decide not to keep it - carry it to term and adopt. At 20 weeks you can hear a heartbeat and feel it kick and hiccup. My husband and I would love to adopt your child if you do not want to keep it - as their are many families looking to adopt with good homes. Either way my advice to you is to give this parenting thing a try - you will not regret it!

Don't do it. Once you hold that little one in your arms you will be so thankful you didn't do it....trust me! That's a little person growing inside you. A blessing from God (no matter how it was brought about) Do you know how many people pray to God for a baby, and can't have one? There's someone out there who can help you get through this. There is a family out there who would like nothing more than to adopt your child. So please consider that before you go and "terminate" that life living in you.
Personally, I'm 24 weeks pregnant...and once you feel that little thing moving inside you...how can you even think of such a thing?

Abortions are legal up to 24 weeks of pregnancy. There is no law in Illinois restricting abortion right now. Illinois also allows teens to have abortions without parental permission.
Sounds like you are in a life altering predicament. Use your head and think it completely through. Either way, good luck and God bless!

haven;t you felt the little thing move yet. i am personally againt abortion after 12 weeks. they pull the baby out limb by limb on partial birth abortions( thta's what one that far is). they just saved a baby that was born at 22 weeks and now she's home and healthy from the hospital! Unles you'll die if the babies born or it's going to mentally retarded or somehting i would not do it. anyways good luck on you decision and i hope everyting goes well

I don't think so, but if it is it shouldn't be. I support a woman's right to choose, but with all due respect, how long can it possibly take to do your choosing? Five months is more than half of the pregnancy. That baby could possibly survive outside of the womb. I hope you aren't seriously considering this. There are so many women who would give their right arm to even be capable of producing a healthy child and here you are ready to kill one.

i believe it is legal but at that stage in pregnancy the embryo is now a fetus(a human being) goin through with an abortion at this stage should be considered murder. you could always give the baby up for adoption and give a family who cant concieve the miracle of life.

I'm so sorry that your problems are so difficult. I don't know the answer to your question, but please think long and hard about the baby, it will affect you for the rest of your life. God bless you and the baby. I wish there was something I could do to help you both.

I am not sure if it is legal or not but it is not safe. At 20 weeks that baby is already formed and should be given the chance to live. I would seek medical attention and discuss other options.
