Answer
Hi Lateffa,

Thanks for your question. I would not recommend having another abortion so soon. There are possibilities of infertility and other side effects from abortion. Also, there are the emotional and psychological problems. Do you have any pregnancy centers in your area so you could get some free, personal advice? Try http://www.heartbeatinternational.org/worldwide_directory.asp
or try http://www.optionline.org or call 1-800-395-HELP.

I would also like to extend an invitation to you to join our unplanned pregnancy group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/unplanned_pregnancy_help/
or http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pregnant_teen_support/

Please email me at CHERYL51@aol.com so we can talk more. If you want to see some stories from other young ladies who had to choose, go to http://www.lifecall.org
Would love to hear from you soon. By the way, your mom cannot force you to have an abortion. If you would get kicked out, you can check out any of those websites and groups to find help and support. Write soon at CHERYL51@aol.com

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
