Is abortion services free in canada?

Question

I'm seventeen and pregnant.So far I'm relying completely on my recently divorced father.

I currently reside in newfoundland canada and is covered by blue cross.

I'd call up my insurance, but where my family doesn't know I'm pregnant, I just can't risk it.

Also, would my parent(s) have to know about the abortion in order to get it?

Obviously it was stupid to get pregnant..but accidents happen.I'm trying to do the best I can, but I really just want to know my options.This happens to be one of them.

I am a very ill girl whom suffers from eating and other mental disorders.(Dare make fun and you'll be sorry XD) And I'm just not sure how I can ever get through this pregnancy.(No excuse I know....)

I know how horrible abortion is..believe me...but I'm curious of MY options..

So please give the answer to the question not try and make me feel even worse about all this.

Answer 1

People are going to throw a **** fit because you mentioned abortion.  But it's YOUR uterus, and only you get to decide when someone will get to inhabit it, no one has a right to decide to use your organs unless you want them too.

You should call your local health department, they will be able to tell you exactly what your options are where you are located.

Answer 2

In some provinces its free, but in others you have to pay a few hundred. I'm pretty sure Blue Cross covers it, but they would keep a note of it that your parents would be able to see. If it does cost where you are, I would pay cash, so -besides missing some money- there would be no record of it.

Good luck =]

Answer 3

Dear Mommy,

     I'm in Heaven now, sitting on Jesus lap. He loves me and cries with me, for my heart is broken. I so much wanted to be your little girl. I don't quite understand what has happened.

I was so excited when I began to realize my existence. I was in a dark, yet comfortable place. I saw that I had fingers and toes and I was pretty far along in my developing, yet not near ready to leave my surroundings. I spent most of my time thinking or sleeping.

Even from the earliest days, I felt a special bonding between us. Sometimes I heard you crying and I cried with you. Sometimes you  would yell or scream, then cry. I heard Daddy yelling back. I was sad, and hoped you would be better soon. I wondered why you cried so much. One day you cried almost the entire day. I hurt for you. I couldn't imagine why you were so unhappy.

That same day, the most horrible thing happened. A very mean monster came into my warm comfortable place. I was so scared, and I began screaming but there was no sound. I guess they had you  pinned down, because you never once tried to help me. The Monster came closer and closer as I was screaming and screaming until I couldn't any more.Then the monster started ripping my arms and legs  off and it hurt so bad. The Pain, I can never explain it. It never stopped. Oh how I begged it to stop. OH! I screamed in horror, though I was in such complete pain, I realized I was dying. I knew I would never see  your face or hear you tell me how much you loved me. I wanted to  make all your tears go away. I had so many plans to make you happy. Now I couldn't . All my dreams were shattered. Though I was in sheer  pain and horror, I could feel the pain of my heart breaking. Above all  else I wanted more than anything to be your daughter. It was now too  late for I was dying a very painful death.

I could only imagine what terrible things they had done to you. I wanted to tell you I love you before I was gone, but I didn't know the words you could understand. Very soon I no longer had the breath to say them; I was Dead.....

I then felt myself rising. I was carried by a huge angle into a beautiful place. I was still crying, but the physical pain was gone. The Angle took me to Jesus and set me on his lap. He said he loved me, and that he was my Father. Then I was happy. I asked him what the thing was that killed me? He answered "ABORTION". "I'm sorry, my child; for I know how it feels." I don't know what abortion is; I guess that's the name of the Monster.

I'm writing to say that I love you and to tell you how much I wanted to be your little girl. I tried very hard to live. I wanted to live. I had the will, but just couldn't; the Monster was too powerful. It sucked my arms and legs off, ripping them from my sockets with great pain, and finally got all of me. It was impossible to live.

I just wanted you to know that I tried to stay with you. I didn't want to leave you. Also, Mommy, Please watch out for the Abortion Monster. Mommy I love you very much and would hate for you to go through the kind of pain and suffering I did. Please be careful.

LOVE, YOUR BABY GIRL

Answer 4

You could keep the baby, you could give it up for adoption. I would tell you to give it up for adoption you shouldn't kill the baby just because you made a mistake. And you would suffer even more mental problems after the abortion some women said after they had an abortion they suffered PTSD(post traumatic stress disorder). And they hated children pregnant women and people who were just Happy. And had thoughts of suicide and depression. so getting an abortion would make things worse for you knowing you killed your baby, giving it up for adoption would be for the best right now.

Answer 5

Balok, sit the **** down and stfu, you angry pro-lifer. you're no help in this place.

Answer 6

Im not in Canada , but honey , I need to say this:

   DO NOT let the extreme christians and angry pro-lifers get to you.  This is your body and your life , you need to do what is best for you.  Expect the extreme christians and disgruntled pro-lifers to reply with nasty comments because they cannot read.  Ignore them and listen to your heart.    In the end , you and you alone are the only person judged for the choices you made.   I hope you can decide on the best choice for you , and I know that no matter what you decide , you will find peace with it in the end.

I apologize for the ignorant who cannot see past their own cause.

Answer 7

Please don't.  Watch Juno.  Do what she did.  Please, you'll understand after you watch it, but please, please, they can feel pain after only a few days.  Please.  That's all I ask.  Please.

Answer 8

I don't know. I would just say to be really sure of any desion you make though to prevent mental stress later  

Answer 9

Get an abortion. Your baby isn't technically alive. It's just a few cells joinging together yet.

Plus, you said you had some mental disorder. If you don't get an abortion your child might inherit the disorder, putting a threat towards adoption, as I wouldn't really (plz don't take offence) want a child who has mental disorder.  

Plus, your child's life might be full of curiosity and anxiety for you. Please get an abortion.

I think you need to tell your father. The worst he could do is kick you out. Or at least tell your aunrt, grandma, close friend's mother etc. They can really help you out.

Apparently abortions are pretty expensive, so i think you need to have some money.

The cost also depends on how far your into the pregnancy. For example 3 months would cost around $500-$600.

1 month would usaully cost arounf $150-$250.

Do a little research. U need to tell someone. A trustful person. Anyone!
