If you go to a Planned Parenthood clinic that has a low-income program it can be as cheap as 100$. If you tells them you have no job, no money and no support they will likely have you pay the minimum for the procedure and get donations to cover the rest. 1-800-230-PLAN (1-800-230-7526) to find the Planned Parenthood clinic nearest you. If you are underage it will mostly likely be free and it’s always confidential.

You have the choice between the pill (which can be taken up to 11weeks, at home or at a friends house) or the vacuum method (in clinic procedure). Personally I used the pill method so I could be at home with my husband but some women want to have the surgical, so it’s done and over with when they leave the clinic.

You will be financially screened – usually this goes on the honor system, weight/height taken, blood pressure checked, pricked -fingertip- to check for rH factor and anemia, you will receive an ultrasound or sonogram to determine gestational age. You may be asked if you want to view the image, this is up to you. You will receive antibiotics, anti-nausea tabs and pain meds. Take them ALL. You must finish at the very least your course of antibiotics. Follow all aftercare instructions and go back to your after care appt. This last step is vital, you must go back for your aftercare appt! Abortion begins a new menstrual cycle. You should have a regular period in 4 to 8 weeks.you should have the option of receiving birth control – again this will most likely be free, take it and use it correctly.

If you are underage you may want to check this site out to see about parental consent laws and whatnot. http://www.sexetc.org/state *Even if it says you need parental consent, you don’t. Call PP and tell them you cannot tell your parents; by law, a judicial bypass must be available to those minors who just cannot get their parents/guardians permission. A judge signs the parental consent acting as a de facto guardian. Abortion funding http://www.nnaf.org/help.html

Some state medicaid program do pay for it, use this link and figure out if your state covers it. If they do, you can go to "welfare" office and get emergency coverage and the state and taxes will help pay for it. http://www.ourbodiesourselves.org/book/companion.asp?id=20&compID=64

If you have any more questions or want/need to talk about it drop me an email.

It is entirely possible to have an abortion and not feel guilt because you knew it was the right thing to do.

    Don’t ask this question in a forum where pregnant women and people who love their babies hang out. Pick up the phone and shut your legs.

    you need to speak to your doctor.

    Don’t post a question like this in the ‘pregnancy’ section.
    It’s upsetting for ladies to see, especially people like me who are tring to conceive and it’s not happening as easily as we had hoped.

    well, I had to get one done here in Phoenix due to complications on a pregnancy and it was $500.00. My suggestion is to go to an adoption clinic. That baby could be someones that cant have them.

    you say your "only in the first trimester"…like it really matters that its only the first trimester, either way your murdering your baby! this is why 16 year olds shouldnt have sex unless they are mature enough to deal with the possible outcome

    sex=baby!!!! and your taking the easy way out!

    please don’t do an abortion… if you don’t want the baby give it to some… let some one who can’t have babies adopt it please… that is so mean to kill the poor baby… do adoption te person who will adoopt the baby wil most likely pay for everything… no abortion… its mean would you have liked it if you knew your mom thought about kilng you before you were even born… its not fair… let the baby live… its a beautiful thing to have a baby… give the baby a chance…

    My Aunt’s Niece ( from the other side of the family) went to an abortion clinic and got the abortion Pill, but I think you need to be before 8 weeks and they check you before you get it. That cost her $400, a "real" abortion would be way more expensive.
    See your Doctor or go to parenthood they will help you

    I know that alot of people are having a go at you on here about being irresponsible…but your already pregnant and it’s your choice. I’d say visit planned parenthood or your local doctor and ask the question. They can’t judge you.

    I hope it all works out for the best :D But remember that protection is there for your own protection.

    Probably a lot. But it would cost you a lot more emotionally.

    If you are brave, watch this video.

    It really depends on the state and I am not familiar with Connecticut, some places I believe it is free if you really need help. It would be best to contact planned parenthood and discuss your options with them. In the end it is your right to choose to have an abortion or not and I think the people who answered you so negatively really should not be so judgmental. But there is something to keep in mind, make sure you think about it long and hard before you decide to, it’s a decision that can’t be undone, and an emotional one. Also, I have heard a few stories (though not sure how reliable) that some women couldn’t have children later on in life because of some complication from an abortion, so that’s another thing to keep in mind if you do want kids one day. Go and speak to planned parenthood though, they are there to help and they can tell you all the facts and help you make the right decision for yourself.

    Generally, a first trimester abortion will cost between $300 and $500. If you go to Planned Parenthood, they might be able to either offer the abortion at a reduced fee (but I don’t think they provide abortions at the Hartford one) if you don’t have much money or income or they can refer you to some resources.

    look at http://www.plannedparenthood.org to find the one closest to you.

    Thumbs down: It’s accurate information. Deal with it.

    Here in Canada an abortion is free, but make sure that’s what you want to go through with before you do it. It’s a hard thing to deal with.

    Actually free. I had one done at 16 and initially I went into planned parenthood and had a prego test and it was confirmed then they you know were stating my options which I already knew I was going to get an abortion and directed me to the welfare office where they actually paid for the abortion to get done. My friend also had one done near the same time I did and she was also 16 and her boyfriend paid for it and i believe it was like almost 500. I was six weeks and she was seven weeks. We both had them done through planned parenthood. They were very nice and didnt seem to judge.

    First trimester abortions typically run $300-$500. Planned Parenthood and some other clinics may actually cut the cost so you only pay what you can afford or work out a payment plan with you. The procedure might also be provided at no cost since you’re a minor. Your best bet would be to make an appointment to talk with someone.

    It costs one human life created by God. A human baby that you should be cherishing, and not trying to kill =(

    Look up clinics in your area, or your local planned parenthood. The cost depends on the procedure. It can be from 300 to 700 dollars, depending on whether you’re sedated and other factors. Planned Parenthood can charge the minimum or refer you to funding that might be available.

    Don’t let the lifers get to you. They seem to think they have the right to force their morality on a vulnerable young woman such as yourself.

    Oh and abortion questions DO belong here because you have to be PREGNANT in order to get an abortion. DEAL WITH IT!
