AboutDanielle Expertise I can answer questions regarding medical and surgical abortion, questions about abortion in general, like moral and religious issues concerning the procedure. I'm happy to answer questions, have discussions, and provide further information, like pro-choice websites and organizations.
Experience I have people close to me who have gotten abortions, I know the current abortion issues, and I have researched abortion in depth for a long time.

hello and allow me to add to the answer Danielle gave you.
I did not see all the e-mails between you two, but what I did read made it obvious that you were in a very difficult position.
I am a Registered nurse, and I used to work at Planned Parenthood. I saw many desperate girls much like yourself, who were between a rock and a hard place. I received many heartfelt "thank you, I don't know what I would have done if it had not been for all of you here." Those women's thank you's were enough to let me know I was helping desperate women and girls.
I know much about fetal, and embryological development, and let me tell you that at 6 weeks an embryo is the size of a small grain of rice.
In my, and many other people's opinion, a person is not a person until there is a mind, and there is no mind, no awareness until the third trimester. Of course it is your opinion that is the one that counts, not anyone else's.
I hope you are feeling better, but may I make a suggestion? If you are going to continue to be sexually active, you would be wise to go on some form of birth control. You do not want to be in this position again, as it sounds like you had quite a rough time emotionally.
Good luck, and know that you are not a bad person , you are not alone, and I personally think you are very brave.
Janet.
