Question
Hi im 16 years old, im 17 weeks preg and almost 18 weeks i have to pay expensive abortion plan. It cost 950.00 but i don't have that kind of money ,my boyfriend doesn't either.My mom doesn't have that kind of money either i don't know anyone that does. I don't know what to do are there any funds that can help me out with this money problem?
Dear Claudia,
I wouldn't advise you to have an abortion at all. The reason that the abortion is so expensive is because your baby is well-developed and that is a hard abortion to perform. Have you done any research on your baby's development? Also, have you done research on what problems and risks there are to YOU from having an abortion on an advanced baby? I have worked with women for over 20 years and many women have regrets and other physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual problems and trauma. Have you heard of post abortion trauma and stress syndrome?
I would like you to join our unplanned Pregnancy group and ask advice from other women who have been in your shoes or been in a unplanned pregnancy situation. Go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/unplanned_pregnancy_help/ and join us.
You may also email me at CHERYL51@aol.com so we can talk further on email. Hope to hear from you soon.
