If you are under the age of 18 yes you need parental consent(in some areas, sorry had to edit this check this link out too- (http://www.pregnantpause.org/lex/abortsum.htm ) The price rage is different in areas. The general "cut off date" is 16 weeks, but that too varies from state to state.
The first link describes what abortion is and what types there are.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion
The second one is an overview of abortion laws by state.
http://www.reproductiverights.org/st_laws.html
If you are asking I am either assuming you, or someone you know (because you don't state otherwise) is interested in an abortion. Be aware that these are just facts, and don't touch on the emotional feelings that you or someone else will go through. Abortion is not something to be decided upon lightly and before anything is done, research ALL options, please.

Wow okay..
1st: every state is different with they're limitations on when you can get an abortion until.. in some states I believe it's illegal all together however I believe most states will only allow 1st trimester abortions (3 months) unless there is a medical reason
They cannot do an abortion before 6 weeks.
2nd: If you are under 18, unless you go in front of a judge then yes, you do need a parent.
3rd: In MA, or at planned parenthood.. abortions cost around 600$.. unless your insurance covers them.
4h: There are surgical abortions (the most used) and Oral abortions (which don't always fully work).
Now.. it seems like you dont want your parents to know?
I wouldn't get an abortion myself but I've had friends who have had them and I am pro-choice but I've got to ask... have you thought of any other choices?

This information is relevant to Australia only:
-12 weeks is the absolute latest
-No parent needed to the best of my knowledge (I'm pretty sure that you need a referral from a doctor though)
-Cost is generally $450
-In Australia the most common method is 'Vaccuum Aspiration', generally performed under general anaesthetic
-Abortion Pill (RU486) induces miscarriage, so you have to basically pass all of the tissue at home (Don't know how much that costs, where it is available etc)
There can be complications from Vaccuum Aspiration- Can weaken the cervix, and this may cause future miscarriages. (VERY traumatic, trust me, I learnt from experience).
Just make sure you weigh up tour options, and the pros and cons of those options! Good luck with everything.

The question is very difficult to be answered, as it involves a lot or steps.
The choice of abortion differs from each stage and so as the cost.
If you want to hide it from your parents, you do not need them, and is you want them, you just need the.
For more information in this you can visit pharmacySell.

They offered to terminate my pregnancy at 16 weeks... so I know that they can do that until at least then. Mine was more of a genetics thing... but I said no. I wasn't suppose to be able to get pregnant... so it was more of a gift of life for me. Regardless if the baby has problems, I'll love it anyway.

I don't believe in abortions, but this is not about me. You can contact your Planned Parent Hood in your area & they will give you all the info you need. Please, think about this before you do it. Go to www.yourdevelopingbaby.com before you decide anything. Good Luck either way you go! God Bless you & do pray about this.

I think you have up to 12 weeks. I think it's about $400 or more not sure about the parent or what methods they use. I had my children. You shouldn't have sex if you didn't want to become pregnant or use a condom

-When? within the 40 weeks of pregnancy
- When is it too late? as soon as you get pregnant
- Need a parent to be present? Obviously, you just need a parent.
- Cost? A baby's life
- Methods? Lets see, there's body dismembering + then ripping it out of YOUR UTERUS! (( ITS FIRST HOME!)) = MURDER!
