Question
im only 14, & i am pregnant.
only a week and a half though.
i live in nj but i can get into nyc in about 15 mintues.
i need to get an abortion that won't ask for insurance/parental consent because i don't want my mother knowing.

can you please help me, i dont know where else to go.


Answer
Most states have parental notification or parental consent. It's important for a parent to know this because when you have an abortion, they need to know all your medical information. It could be very detrimental to your health or life if important medical information is withheld. Your parent would know these things.

I would recommend calling 1-800-395-HELP or go to http://www.optionline.org to discuss your options. Tell me a little more about what you have researched about abortion. This is important to your future life and health. Would you please call me at 512-801-6431 or email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com I would love to talk to you more as I have researched abortion for 20 years now and would like to share this information with you. Also you can join http://groups.yahoo.com/group/unplanned_pregnancy_help/ or http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pregnant_teen_support/

Hope to hear from you soon.
