		<description>Is abortion an option for you ?

Info if you need it, if not - disregard it . . . 
If you go to a Planned Parenthood clinic that has a low-income program it can be as cheap as 100$. If you tells them you have no job, no money and no support they will likely have you pay the minimum for the procedure and get donations to cover the rest. 1-800-230-PLAN (1-800-230-7526) to find the Planned Parenthood clinic nearest you. If you are underage it will mostly likely be free. 

You have the choice between the pill (which can be taken up to 11weeks, at home or at a friends house) or the vacuum method (in clinic procedure). Personally I used the pill method so I could be at home with my husband but some women want to have the surgical, so it's done and over with when they leave the clinic. 

You will be financially screened - usually this goes on the honor system, weight/height taken, blood pressure checked, pricked -fingertip- to check for rH factor and anemia, you will receive an ultrasound or sonogram to determine gestational age. You may be asked if you want to view the image, this is up to you.  You will receive antibiotics, anti-nausea tabs and pain meds. Take them ALL. You must finish at the very least your course of antibiotics. Follow all aftercare instructions and go back to your after care appt. This last step is vital, you must go back for your aftercare appt! Abortion begins a new menstrual cycle. You should have a regular period in 4 to 8 weeks.you should have the option of receiving birth control - again this will most likely be free, take it and use it correctly.

If you are underage you may want to check this site out to see about parental consent laws and whatnot. *Even if it says you need parental consent, you don't. Call PP and tell them you cannot tell your parents; by law, a judicial bypass must be available to those minors who just cannot get their parents/guardians permission. A judge signs the parental consent acting as a de facto guardian.

Some state medicaid program do pay for it, use this link and figure out if your state covers it. If they do, you can go to "welfare" office and get emergency coverage and the state and taxes will help pay for it.

If you have any more questions or want/need to talk about it drop me an email.

It is entirely possible to have an abortion and not feel guilt because you knew it was the right thing to do.

		<description>if youre a caring person in general, carrying the baby for the 9-10 months and when it comes time for delivery, then giving the baby up, do you really think you can do it? the love that you grew to have for this baby and probably so many precious moments you will be having. you'll realised that no matter how hard you work, just to support this child, he or she will be worth every bit of it. 
also remember that once you put the baby up for adoption, and then one day you want the baby back or want to just be a part of the child's life, it wont be as easy as you might think it is.&lt;a href="http://www.myadoptedbaby.com/local/adoption.htm"&gt; RichSitha Baby1-Lyle due 4/27/10&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>the best thing to do for the baby is to give it up for adoption. you are still so young and won't be able to provide for the baby. you have plenty of time to have children later on.&lt;a href="http://www.resumeminers.com/Resume/Submit-Resume.htm"&gt; pregnant with #1 =]&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>I know most of the people on here are older...I was 17 when I got pregnant with my daughter. I can tell you right now it is extremely hard because I am now in college and taking care of her. I ended up getting my GED...I am extremely lucky that I have my mom to live with and got student loans to help pay for school. I want to tell you that it is your decision and no one elses. If you decide you would like to keep the baby it will somehow work out!!!! It will be hard for a while but you also will have baby that is so beautiful and amazing. I never really considered abortion or adoption because I made the mistake to get pregnant. There are many people that would love to have a baby and accept him or her as a precious gift. This is a huge decision and I would def. get input from your parents. Just follow your heart! I truly wish you the best and it will be okay!&lt;a href="http://www.businessbrokersguide.com/mortgage-business-broker-plan.htm"&gt; Kayleighs__mommy&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>It depends on how good a life you can give the baby, and if later on in life, you would regret the decision of giving your baby up. Because once it is adopted, that's it. In my opinion you should keep it if you can give the baby a good life. We all have to live with our decisions ; you took the risk, you need to deal with the consequences. ;) A child is a wonderful gift.&lt;a href="http://www.ecohomefashion.com/dining-64"&gt; Mary&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>I think that is way better than having an abortion theres alot of families out there that would love to adopt. SMART choice just next time make sure you guys are more careful so you guys dont end up in the same situation.&lt;a href="http://www.bigjobtools.com/srch/srch.php?q=Porter+Cable"&gt; MaryLuu..&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>do you want to let the baby have a good life? or an average life? remember people who are wanting to adopt would give a baby everything if yu think your baby deserves that then good, you can do open adoption so you can see the baby anything you want and you know the baby will have everything he or she needs.&lt;a href="http://www.safedebthelp.com/debt-self-help.htm"&gt; Connerz&lt;/a&gt;</description>
