I agree with the others. If you cannot afford to have an abortion, your only other SAFE option is to have the baby and put it up for adoption (or, have the baby and keep it of course). Start checking out local adoption agencies now.
Also, how old are you? Most abortion clinics will not do an abortion without parental consent if you are under age. Do your parents or any close trusted friends/family know that you're pregnant?
Depending on what state or area you live in, there are clinics that will do abortions very late into a pregnancy. I don't personally recommend this, as they generally become way more expensive the farther along you are. They also become riskier to your future reproductive and emotional health. Have you truly considered the emotional impacts of an abortion? This isn't a lecture by any means, just something to think about.
What about the father of the baby? If you know who it is, does he even know you're pregnant? If so, what are his thoughts?
Good luck to you. This is NOT the end of the world regardless of what you may think or feel right now.

If you can't afford the abortion, then you're only option sounds like to have the baby and put it up for adoption (if you don't want to keep it). Plus you are almost too far along to consider the option anymore. There are several different options out there for adoption. It can be open (have contact w/ baby) and it can be closed (have no contact w/ baby).

At 13 weeks it may already be too late. A lot of states prohibit abortion after 12 weeks unless there is a medical complication with the mother.
At this point - you should look into adoption.

If you cannot afford to have an abortion, then look into adoption. You might even be too far along to have an abortion (you could have taken the morning after pill if you had unprotective sex). Have you even seen a doctor? If not, you do not know how far along you really are until you are examined.

It already is too late. What you need to do is resign yourself to carrying this baby to term and then give it up for adoption or realize that maybe you can have a baby right now. Go to a crisis pregnancy center. They can help you figure out how to financially handle the medical care that you will need throughout your pregnancy and they can give you maternity clothes (and baby clothes if you decide you want to keep your baby).

There are counselors at your local Planned Parenthood clinic who can help you with real answers far better than unseen strangers here at Yahoo Answers.
Call up your local Planned Parenthood clinic and make an appointment to talk to a counselor and get some prenatal care. You thought you were old enough to have sex, so grownup of you, wasn't it? Now it's time to really grow up and take the full responsibility for your action by admitting the truth of your pregnancy, by taking care of yourself and your unborn child, and not killing the child just because you believe you screwed up.
Planned Parenthood counselors will help refer you to a clinic that will help you through labor and delivery, and will help you decide about adoption channels. There are so many women out there who are unable to have their own children who will gladly take yours and raise it and love it as their own. Don't torture those women further by being able to have babies and kill them because you are ashamed and the baby ruins your future. Give your baby a future with someone who will love and cherish it. Talk to Planned Parenthood, give your baby a chance at life, have the baby, put it in the arms of someone who wants it, and move on with your own life.
Do at least that much for an unborn child.
I pray for the both of you that God will heal your heart and give you strength to walk through this time of pain with His guidance in Jesus Holy Name, AMen.

Adoption. Abortion is not only HELL on your body (and could kill you, although its rare) and many MANY women regret it to this day, its MURDER. I think once you hold your baby for the first time you'd change your mind. But theres always adoption and that won't cost you anything. Theres millions of families than cannot have children of their own and want to adopt one so they can have one. Don't take something like this for granted. You are pregnant for a REASON.
Good luck.

the best thing is to put it up for adoption like everyone said.
i think abortion is the most horrible thing in the world (thats my opinion) but the best thing to do is to find your baby a safe home.
