Question

I will be 16 in 3wks, i might be pregnant. i want an abortion. but not with my parent knowing. is it possible?

Answer 1

If a minor wants an abortion and doesn't want to involve her parents, and she lives in a state that requires parental consent, there is another option. She can go before a judge and the judge will then decide whether or not it is in the young woman's best interests to obtain an abortion without her parents knowing because of physical or emotional abuse or incest.  This is called judicial bypass.

Other states mandate that a parent be notified of their daughter’s decision to have an abortion before she gets one. This is called parental notification.  There are also ways to avoid parental notification if a girl does not want to involve her parents. The hotline run by NAF can be very helpful for learning your rights: 1-800-772-9100.

Answer 2

Go to http://www.abortion.com then click on your state then a clinic. From there it will tell you everything you need to know. Most states requires a parents signature when you are underaged. I have seen some that don't but i cannot recall what states they where in.

If you are going to get an abortion i would do it soon because you could take the abortion pill up to 8 weeks and it would be cheaper.

<<<This person did not ask what most of you are saying>>>

Abortion is not murder. You cannot kill something that is not alive. A fetus is not a baby.  Who are you all to judge people? Have you not ever made a mistake in your lives before?

Oh yea for all the Pro-Lifers on here answering this if you take birth control then maybe you would like to read this:

(It is from pro-life people)

ADD: This question has to do with pregnancy so that is why it is here. This person cannot help it if you all are pregnant or trying to get pregnant, she is wanting help. Why don't you all ever think of that? Do you know the reason behide her wanting to get an abortion? No so why judge? You're also a SINNER if you gossip, don't go to church, live right by god so why are you judging, afterall ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE PEOPLE......

More facts about the Pill, IUDs, Depo-Provera and Norplant:

Again, if you're reading about CHEMICAL ABORTIONS for the first time, this may surprise, or even shock you. Most Americans are not aware that the Pill and other chemical "contraceptives" cause millions of "non-surgical" abortions each year in the early weeks of pregnancy. If you are using the Pill, Depo-Provera or Norplant, you need to know the truth about how these products work.

Most women take these "contraceptives" because they don't want to have a baby. But how many women know they can have BREAKTHROUGH OVULATIONS and become pregnant while using these "contraceptives?" Very few! And how many of these women know that if they become pregnant after a BREAKTHROUGH OVULATION, these "contraceptives" will almost always kill any son or daughter they've conceived?

Most people don't know the real facts about how "contraceptives" work. And because of this lack of knowledge, most women are not aware that they may be having BREAKTHROUGH OVULATIONS, and conceiving children that are killed very early in the pregnancy. Women using these "contraceptives" almost never perceive that they have become pregnant, or that chemicals have killed their tiny baby.

So tell me now how do you know that you have not caused an abortion to your ownself??

Answer 3

BABY KILLER DONT HAVE s*x IF YOUR NOT READY TO BE A MOTHER GROW UP

Answer 4

Why are you asking this to a whole bunch of pregnant women? Ugh I hate these questions! If you had unprotected s*x then you probably are pregnant! If you can't deal with the consequences of your actions then you don't need to be sleeping around. Gosh 15!! Ugh!

Answer 5

You are now 16.

You do have the right, but please if you are going to do such  a thing against your parents back move out of there home.

This is the ultimate of disrespect.  You do not respect your parents this is obvious....therefor do not need to be living off of them.

The right thing to do would be to go to your parents. Hear what they have to say. Who knows they may want that baby more then you could ever know, or a family member may want that baby!

With every action there is a consequence.  

Answer 6

Go somewhere other than Y!A pregnancy section.  We are a bunch of pregnant woman who want our babies.. You need to tell your parents if you plan on killing this child.  

And find out if your pregnant first before you come asking questions!

I feel sorry for you!!   Don't be selfish!!

Answer 7

What's wrong with adoption?  Often you can find a couple or agency who will cover the medical expenses and make sure you're taken care of during the pregnancy.  It's a win for everyone.  You're not living with the guilt and possible complications of an abortion, an innocent child is given a chance at life instead of being murdered, and a couple that maybe otherwise couldn't have children get a precious baby.  Think long and hard before you make a decision; this will change your life forever.

Answer 8

BABBY KILLER THEY SHOULD SEW YER LEGS SHUT...

Answer 9

Sounds like you need to talk to someone.  It is possible.  There are many places you can go for counseling, and they will give you a free pregnancy test.  Call 311, or check your local listings.  Many are confidential even for teens.

Good Luck and God Bless You,

Answer 10

Is adoption not an option? I mean really MUST you kill a baby because you made a bad decision. Why make a bad decision worse? Give your baby a chance and give some poor childless couple a chance. People are not expendable you know.....

Answer 12

At your age, I think that is a very wise decision.  As to your question, it really depends on what state you live in.  Call Planned Parenthood.

Answer 13

If you can't take care of a child DONT HAVE s*x!! I am so sick of girls like you killing their babies.. because "they are not ready" IF YOU CANT HANDLE GETTING PREGNANT THEN USE PROTECTION ATLEAST. Your a baby killer!! Your also a sinner!!

Answer 14

well the only way to tell is to take a test...and then you need to think about it before you do anything make a wise choice

Answer 15

It really depends on your state... Call Planned Parenthood or Google to find out what the age limit is on having an abortion without parental consent.

Answer 16

Yes it is.  Call an abortion hotline to see where you can have it done.  It is extremely expensive though, and me being a mother of two, and having my first one at a very young age, I do know that going ahead and having the child is the best thing to do.  Abrotion IS murder.

Answer 17

No, you have to be with an adult or legal guardian.  They will scan their IDs also to make sure that it is your actual parent.  You are too young to be having s*x, especially if you cannot accept the responsibilities that come with it.  Next time it might be something you can't "get rid of".
