[youngbutsmart]

why would you ask this?

you asked about a strongly opinionated subject, what kind of answer did you think you where going to get?

[silentFLAME]

Abortion is wrong.

[catiemckinney]

Abortion is wrong! Anyone who does it is sick... it's killing an innocent human being... Even if it doesn't have a
any sense of what's going on it still feels pain.

[erinjl123456]

Abortion was too scary a topic for me. Try to google it.

Some people may not answer if they did have an abortion! It may have been a terrible experience they want to forget! I haven't nor will I ever get one! Just trying to help!!

I know someone who did it and she is having a horrible time dealing with it. She has other children and felt that she was not prepared for another but now she is falling apart, I'm sure that having the baby would've been easier than dealing with her emotional trauma. No matter which way you look at it children are are a blessing so...I believe that ending the life of a child is not only horrible but also keeps us (moms, dads, families and the rest of the world) from being blessed by that child.

im not agianst abortion but i do feel that its not always ok. if u are contemplating having one done u should try planparenthood or somethin liek that. its more confidential and you wont get nasty messages from closed minded people

[Estrato Seis]

Ive only know two people. Both regretted it.

[nycsubwaybum1]

before everyne starts putting in the comments like abortion is wrong,well i don't think it is, and if your calling yourself pro-life then your wrong cause i bet you use condoms and birthcontrol and that stops life from being created so shut the hell up, i am pro choice,anyway but costs are different you can check out planned parenthood, and people cope different the longer you wait the harder it gets make sure its what you want to do cause no matter what you decide to do you will always think what if

Had one 3 years ago. Had it done thru Planned Parenthood, and truely it wasn't horrible. It's kinda painful, but nothing worse than really bad cramps. Although the girl in the next room sounded like they were murdering her, but she was young. I'm not sure you want me to go into the details about the procedure itself, so I won't.
How am I coping? Now, I'm fine with it. At first I felt alittle guilty b/c I was raised in the church and other personal stuff going on at the time. The one thing I did that made things easier, is I didn't tell anyone that didn't "have to" know. My emergency medical contact and my boyfriend were the only ones that knew at the time. I kept it from most of my family b/c I knew that they'd be hurt and disappointed in me.
The cost then was $450, but that depends on how far a long you are, too.
If you have any questions, I'll answer them the best I can.Good luck.

my cousin had an abortion due to thinking family would not help or support her (her sister was jeaulous cos she has 3 kids n yeh ) (mum is a straight up bitch but she my auntie)
that was a yr ago and to this day regrets it and fells a loss in side her something she neva wants to go thro again

[Heroin Mary]

My friend was going to get one and I went to the clinic with her. Its definitly not something I would recommend. The whole ordeal seemed to be utterly terrifing in its own way and the cost was I think $400 but it varies by state I think. She did not go through it and unfortunitly had a miscarriage. If you are planning on it think carefully about your decision. You are stopping a growing baby they can't do anything until you are 4 months along and at that point it isn't just an embryo it a living child. Think also if you could truly live with that decision. I thought once about it when I was younger and scared that I was with child (false alarm) But I couldn't decide what would be worse being a bad mother or killing my child? Thankfully I didn't have to decide.

[XXJust another GirlXX]

i have had one ad honestly it was the worst decision i have ever made.the 13 of march was my edd and i was so depressed. i live i the caribbea so the money isnt the same. if you are contmplating getting one, please think carefully because it isnt an easy decision.

[tricia b]

i was 16 when i had my first child and i found ut that i was pregnant again whn i was 17 i had abortion i regrat it dearly .i would never do it again.someways im againist abortions and other ways im not againist for people who judge people if they do it one that do say they are againish what if a child comes to you and says someone in the family rape them or if anyone that happens to then do it.but if u keep on doing getting abortion then thats wrong.

next question yrs ago it sepend on how far you are pregnant i paid 500

[youdontknowme]

I had one years ago, & even though it was a hard decision for me to make, it was right for me at the time because i was still in college & was NOT ready for it at all, financially or emotionally. My experience was ok. I went to some low cost clinic, which wasn't the best looking place in the world. It had people protesting with signs in front, which was NOT helpful at all, but i just ignored them cuz they're idiots. They need to get a freaking life & mind their own business >:-( The procedure itself was a little more uncomfortable than a gyno visit, but nothing scary or painful. I would just ask around &/or research the place in question. It was a few hundred dollars, & yes, it's expensive, but not nearly as expensive as the other option. I used to be pro-life before i was faced with the decision. I've been pro-choice since, but by no means encourage anyone to use it unless they need to. I didn't hardly tell anyone about it except for a couple of very close friends that i could trust, & feel no need to tell anyone either. But sometimes, even BC methods fail, & if someone's simply not wanting to go thru with it (ie, she simply doesn't want kids), she shouldn't feel forced to have it just because of other people's moral issues. Good luck.

I have had an abortion, not because i wanted to but because i had to.
I was almost 24 weeks pregnant, they did my ultrasound and found that my son had 7 tumors in his brain and that it was unoperable. So the best bet was to abort cause the chances of him surviving was 1 in 1million, and if by any chance he would have surrived there would be several serious surgeries and that he would most likely be a cripple that would need every medical intervention possible to keep him alive. i couldbt do it. So i had an abotrion. The night before the surgery the doctors inserted a tent to open up my cerfix then the next day they put me to sleep and did what they had to do.
Once i woke up i was in so much pain and had so much guilt for just killing my son but i knew that is what i had to do. i dont necessary believe in abortions just because you dont want to have a child, if it is medical necessary and there isnt any other way around it then fine.
now i cam coping fine, but right after for almost a year i wanted another child was depressed like it really sucked,.
it didnt cost me anything because it was necessary but in canada i would have cost about 700.00-1500.00cdn to get what i had done.
I am currently pregnant with my second child and i am doing great so is the child.
Dont have an abortion just cause you are young and or are pregnant and not ready, there are alot of resources out there that can help you through and after your pregnancy.. You spread your legs and didnt protect yourself and or maybe you did, now that you are pregnant enjoy it and think about adopting the child out that is the best way to do it if you arent ready to take care of a child.
Oh and by the way i had my abortion april 21 and 22 of 2006.

I have not had an abortion, but I have had friends that have- and they now lead normal, healthy, happy lives, and have gone on to have children only when they are ready to be great parents. To bring a child into this world one needs to be ready in all kinds of ways, including financially and emotionally. You control your body, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Cost can be from $400-$900. Hopefully there is low cost public health center in your area that can give you accurate information, not right wing Christian guilt trips that lie to you. You can often talk to woman that have had an abortion. See where the nearest planned parenthood is. Abortion is your choice, and it is unfortunate that the US is trying to deny women of that right. Good luck.

[Just A Thought]

I had an abortion when I was younger... It was the right thing for me at the time. I wasn't mentally fit for a child and I realized that. Not knowing what kind of mother I would be to my child was more scarier then having an abortion, and giving my child up for adoption (turning my back) after I created my child for 9 months wasn't an option. I would have regretted that more then anything. I know many people that been through the foster care system and being raped and mistreated by there foster "care" takers (because they aren't considered parents in my book) wasn't a chance I was going to take.

But like is said it was the right thing for me at that time.

Now Im currently 25 weeks with my baby girl and much has change during that duration of time since I had my abortion. I believe that I am mentally and physically ready for a child and there is not question nor doubt in my mind what kind of mother I would be to my daughter.

[Mummy Earth]

i have to have a termination of a planned baby in a few eeks due to a cervical malignancy. i never found out until around the time of conception that i had this and started using contraception again butwas already pregnant.

im not coping very well with it, i already have a 7mos old little girl, so having an abortion is killing me. especially having to wait on the appointment, i wish i could get it over with and try to be normal again.

i asked a question about it and got VERY ignorant nasty answers, i had to explain my situation which i shouldnt have done. people should not judge.

[Rhubarb]

It cost around $300 and I'm not coping very well.
