Question

Please do not be mean to me. I know that if you were faced with the most dificult decision of your life, you would not want someone to be cruel to you

Answer 1

you have to call your nearest planned parenthood right now...

It's easier to deal with abortion as early as possible. I'm pro-choice and I don't believe its murder. Don't listen to some freaks in this forum.

First trimester abortions usually last for 10 minutes but you have to stay in the clinic for 3-4 hours (most of the time you are just waiting). Then you can go home immediately.

I understand how you feel although I've never been pregnant nor had an abortion. Please look the SCIENTIFIC abortion facts. Most women who had abortion felt "relief" NOT "regret" like what some people here are saying.



Call planned parenthood: 1-800-230-PLAN (7526)

or go to this link:

to find the clinc near you and to set an appointment right away.


Important note: If you see "crisis pregnancy centers" run away because it is a bogus clinic.

Answer 2

Whatever your decision is, make sure to ignore the bible-thumping ignorant people on here saying terrible things about you're choice. Right now the tissue growing inside of you cannot survive outside of your body, and if you do not have the means to support it, you will be making a good decision... If the child cannot be supported by you, think of the quality of life it will have in foster care, etc. There are too many humans leaching off this planet already. Look up the local Planned Parenthood and take care of this the sooner the better. Chances are they will do it within the next week or two after an examination. Definitely get some counseling afterwards and stay strong. Don't listen to the religious freaks on here! Stay calm, meditate! Peace!

Answer 3

Clinics and doctors vary on how soon you can get a first-trimester surgical abortion - usually it's 6 weeks after your last menstrual period (LMP). The Abortion Pill is an option earlier in pregnancy, as soon as pregnancy can be determined by ultrasound (sonogram).

Most clinics advice that you are at least 6-7 weeks before making an appointment.

Good Luck.

Please read this!

When faced with the frightening prospect of having a baby some may wonder if an abortion might be an easy solution to their problems.

Understandably, some powerful, even conflicting, emotions may come into play. A young woman is bound to have some natural feelings for the child growing within her, but she may also have legitimate fears and anxieties, such as the fear of financial difficulties, the concern that one may not be capable of handling the responsibilities of parenthood, pressure from others, and the popular view that abortion doesn’t really involve killing an infant. All things considered, then, abortion may seem desirable. Nevertheless, the facts show that many who choose abortion have regrets later.

One woman stated: “It wasn’t until a couple of weeks had gone by [after the abortion] that I began to feel guilty and kind of ashamed of what I’d done.” Things got even tougher when February rolled around—the month in which the baby would have been born.

Another reflects: “Fifteen years ago I had an abortion. Following that, I suffered serious depression and had to be treated in a clinic a number of times. I even wanted to commit suicide.”

Rather than being the easy way out, abortion can compound one’s difficulties. At the very least, it goes against the grain of our inward sense of right and wrong—the conscience that God implanted in humankind. (Romans 2:15) Furthermore, abortion requires a young woman to shut the door of her tender compassions upon the tiny life developing within her. (Compare 1 John 3:17.) How demoralizing!

Many sincerely believe that a fetus is not a human life. But what does the Creator—“the source of life”—say in this regard? The Bible makes it clear that to Jehovah God the unborn child developing inside the womb is far more than mere fetal tissue. He inspired King David to write: “Your eyes saw even the embryo of me, and in your book all its parts were down in writing.” (Psalm 139:16) The Creator thus views even an embryo as a distinct person, a living human. For this reason, he stated that a person would be called to account for injuring an unborn child. (Read Exodus 21:22, 23) Yes, as far as God is concerned, killing an unborn child is the taking of a human life. A girl who wants to please God, therefore, cannot consider abortion to be an acceptable option—regardless of pressure placed upon her.

A young woman named Natisa related: "Five years ago I was sitting in an abortion clinic, waiting my turn. Instead of taking my turn, I thought twice and walked out of the clinic. I now have a wonderful four-year-old son, another baby on the way, and am married to a loving father.”

Anyone faced with pregnancy should not make a rash decision. As bad as things might look, it is not the end of the world.

What about the task of raising an infant—and the drastic changes in life-style that will no doubt have to be made? All of this may seem overwhelming. Nevertheless, the Bible provides practical counsel that can help people deal with these challenges. With loving support and proper guidance, mothers can make the most of the situation. Abortion is simply not the answer!

Answer 5

I understand that this is a difficult decision for you to make. I would talk to a doctor about this immediately because abortions are best handled in the first trimester. The earlier it is done, the less chance of permanent damage to yourself. Just be sure you are well aware of any risks involved and be sure to find a good doctor for this procedure. I would hate to see you hurt in any way. Good luck and if you should want to talk, don't be afraid to email me.

Answer 6

Is there a Planned Parenthood in your town? They should be able to help you. They will also give you advice on how to prevent another unwanted pregnancy so you don't have to go through this again. From what I've heard, you need to be six weeks pregnant before they can perform a surgical abortion, and it's best to get it done before twelve weeks.

Avoid places that call themselves "crisis pregnancy centers" and offer free pregnancy tests. Many of them are fake clinics that hound you into continuing your pregnancy. If they try to show you films, run, run, RUN!!!!

Answer 7

I was in your shoes at 19. you have up to the 10th week. but no longer than that. go to a planned parenthood in your city and they can help you. But please know that once you go through with this decision, after its over you may in fact get depressed. So I also suggest you look into counselling at your county mental health dept if you start to feel sad or depressed. Or like me, I heard babies crying at night. Probably because I was forced to have one, even though I decided to keep the baby. It took me a long time to get over what I did. But in the long run, it ws the right thing to do. The guy now I hear has 3 kids by different girls and I am married to the same guy for 17 yrs and have two beautiful children. good luck hun

Answer 8

Why do you want one so soon? Are you scared that if you think about it that you will change your mind?
You can never go back after you go through with this. You will have ended your childs life. How do you think you will deal with this after the abortion?
Many people regret having abortions but who with children regret NOT having an abortion?
If you want an informed choice then you should look at pictures of abortion on net and see what actually happens.
If you want to do that then http://www.prolifeamerica.com, go to the reality link.
Warning though, if you look its extremely disturbing but this is what you would be doing.

Answer 9

i hate to hear that you are considering an abortion. i know it is your body, but you made the decision to have unprotected sex. i know from experience the difficulties of being a single parent and it is hard sometimes. now i am married and my husband is unable to have children of his own. we would love to adopt an unwanted child. i know if you are scared to tell your parents you can call hotlines or go to a local planned parenting course and speak to professionals about your situation. please consider other options before taking this innocent life. remember, the child did not do anything wrong. some decisions come with consequences, and sometimes the most rewarding things in life come with hard work and tough love. good luck and god bless you. please seek all possibilities.

Answer 10

Depends on where you live. Open your local yellow pages and look under family planning. That's your first step. Good luck. Let's keep it safe and legal.

Just added:
Sorry all these people are being so judgmental. Just remember it's your choice and no one else.
