The earliest you can have an abortion is as soon as you find out, and the sooner the better. It is far less risk to the mother if she has this done in her first trimester (1 to 3 months) and it will more then likely provide less mental strain as well. You should talk to a doctor about having one if you are unsure...

You know to all those that have judged you already and started howling at the wind for you to NOT have an abortion..well here is my two pence worth for them and you.
My mum had me by age 19 and went on to have three kids by 26.
She had post natal depression all of my child hood and spent most of her time sick. She died of cancer 2 years ago.
The one thing she said to me was this before she died:
While there is never a good time to have kids you must make sure that your not bullied into making a choice either way
.
You must make sure that your mental and financial health are at least somewhat stable. and never let people judge you.
while people have their options and judgements no one person can EVER live your life and you have to live with your choice for the rest of your life and your child's.
Now most people at the time begged her not to have me... she chose to have me and NEVER regretted it !! ever ..however she paid with her life dearly because she did not have the mental health support.
So..Think carefully about it and try to get some NON Judgemental support.
Why bring another child into poverty or a broken home.
It may be a good thing to wait till your older or it may be the time now...but either way you need to come to a decision as soon as you can.
Please please from the bottom of my heart go and seek help from someone other than the Internet or yahoo.
Perhaps a close friend or someone you can trust...talk to someone anyway to weigh up ALL your options and then you can make and INTELLIGENT INFORMED CHOICE!!
Good luck :0)

I believe abortion is the easy way out. If you have any intercourse without protection, you know it is a possibillity, and abortion is just a way to keep from taking responsibility for your actions. Anytime you decide to lay down (trying to say it in the nicest way possible) with someone, there is ALWAYS a possibility of getting pregnant, take responsibility for what you have created. There are so many people out there who want a baby and can't have one, and people who have abortions don't care about things like that.
I just believe it is a very selfish act.

The human heart starts beating after 22 days. So if u dont want to be a monster I'd suggest as soon as you find out from a doctor how far along u are.
Also, abortions should only take place if the woman was a.) raped or b.) they know there's no way the baby could be taken care of.

Do you mean age of the woman or development of the fetus?
As far as development of the fetus, the sooner the better (after a certain point, you can no longer get an abortion).
As far as age, it depends on what state you live in. I don't know if you'll be refused an abortion if you're really young, but you may need parental consent (again..it depends on your state).

As early as she find out that she is pregnant (usually around 3-4 weeks). If you think you got pregnant within the last 24 hours you can get the morning after pill.

whenever she finds out shez pregnant, but I DO NOT suggest this because think....ur taking a innocent baby out of this world and if u let it live, it can always be adopted and put in a safer home. If u got pregnant in the first place plz keep the helpless child. U'll for sure come to find out that u made the right choice not aborting her if u give life a chance!!! Think about urself, would u want 2 have been aborted by ur mother??? Being a mother is the best feeling in the world no matter what because its a thing that u can only feel for urself!!!Save the precious life!

Don't abort your child! It's murder! They are precious and you would be taking a life! Please, there is always adoption. Trust me, I had a child when I was in no way ready, and she is the best thing that's ever happened to me! I could not imagine my life without her! Just make sure you're making the right choice. My best friend had an abortion when we were 16 in the month of November. Every November she gets seriously depressed. She said it's the worst decision she's ever made. You don't want to live with that.

Never! Abortion is just legalized murder! You have a living being growing inside of you who has a right to life just like you do. If you don't want them, give them up for adoption, there are plenty of people who wants children, but don't kill them, when you become pregnant you conceive life.

Planned parenthood here said the clinic they send ppl too dont do then until atleast 7wk becuase that way they can see and make sure they do it right and its complete. So it all depends on where they are i guess and the clinic you goto.
