Abortion Options

Can you get an abortion without parental consent and be under 18??

Yes go to family planning, they help you

it depends on what youre U.S. State in. ..

It depends on where you live.

Depends on the state. In some states, teenagers can obtain abortions without their parents knowing, but I can not get their ears pierced at the mall.

I hope not. If you were irresponsible enough to get pregnant then you are really too immature to make a major life decision like this on your own.

Yes it is that you have $ 400-800. What about abortion and not give it up for adoption?

Call a hotline

ask family planning

Please give your review in adoption or abortion because it is a human life. You can have the baby and give it up for adoption, even if you should tell your parents that it will be difficult - or do they already know? I hope you can do the right thing, good luck.

Probably not, but I'm not sure.
I am totally against abortion. I mean why take anothers life because of your mistake? Not talking about you just said. Haa. If you become pregnant, are under the age of 18 years, and you want an abortion without your parents find out .. I'm not sure.
