Question
I took a preg test back in October and it said positive so I know I am at least that far along. I wondered if you could give me any advice. What kind of abortion would be available to me since I am this far along. i know i sould not have procrastinated so long. Is it even possible to still get one and what would be the cost ( approximate) for something like this to be done. What are the risks for possibly having kids in the future. I have thought about adoption but I just coudln't do that either. I don't have the money or experience to handle this.

Answer
Hi Stacy,
This is really outside my area of expertise, but you can find information on abortions over 12 weeks at gynpages.com.  You are still within a reasonable amount of time to get an abortion, so you should be able to find some place that can help you.  Depending on what state you live in, Medicaid may cover it.
I hope this is helpful,
