Question
I am a 15 year old girl that is currently 6 weeks pregnant. I want to get an abortion without telling my mother. I wanted to know if Energency Medicaid covers the whole cost of the abortion or if i still would have to pay? I also wanted to know if when applying for Medicaid how long would it take and would i need my parents consent to get it.
Thank You.

Hello Tenisha,
I would have to know what state you are in if you live in United States as some states have parental consent laws. And so I don't know about the Emergency Medicaid question either. I would advise you to go to http://www.optionline.org to find a pregnancy center in your area. Please call them or email them and see what you can find out. Also, there are websites to ask questions, http://www.voy.com/66018/

You may also email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com for further advice.
