Just Found Out I'm Pregnant...

I took one of those pharmacy tests and I
got a positive. I haven't had my period
in 1 month and i've been having the
symptons (morning sickness, etc.) for the
past week.
I want to know what I need to do in order
to have an abortion. Do I have to go to
my gyn doctor? Some other doctor?
Thanks in advance for your help.

If you really feel the need to have an
abortion, I believe you can go to a
planned parenthood center and they will
help you out. But have you considered
all the other options, and researched what
an abortion would entail. Please don't do
anything without all the facts.

It depends where you are located -- your
best bet would probably be a planned
parenthood centre, where they will be able
to advise you about your options.
Good luck.

I would just suggest that you should be
careful about just looking under
"abortion" in the yellow pages, because
there are a lot of fake clinics there
which are actually run by
anti-abortionists or religious
organizations, and if you go there they
will just try to talk you out of it, not
proper counselling, just start telling you
horrible things -- and they don't actually
provide abortions, they are just fronts.
I hope you have someone who you can trust,
to talk to and come along to be there for
you. Good luck.

Make sure you get some real good advice,
dont let anyone pressure you into
anything. Check out all the information
avalible - dont realy on anyone giving it
to you - get both sides of the story that
way you will be able to make your own
judgement.

Going to the doctor is the first step.
They will be able to confirm the pregnancy
(make sure the test wasn't a false
positive) and a good doctor will be able
to discuss *all* of your options with you.
Together with your doctor, you should be
able to make the best decision for
yourself. I must stress that if you
start feeling pressured by your doctor to
choose one option over another, then you
should seek a second opinion from someone
who's objective. After the doctor
confirms the pregnancy and you still
desire an abortion, the planned parenthood
should be able to point you in the right
direction to obtain one. Other than
that, naral is also a good place to start
as they will have information for the
requirements in your specific state as
well as possible links to providers in
your area. You can find that here: http://www.Naral.Org/.
Best of luck and if you want to talk to
someone who has had an abortion and is not
sorry about it, just e-mail me at jenn

peace,
jenn

Be careful looking under abortion. I went
to a clinic yesterday and it was a
horrible expierence!! I was told I was
going to go to hell for wanting an
abortion. Now I dont believe in hell but I
was furious and so was my other half. I
dont want anyone to ever go through what I
went through yesterday! Call planned
parenthood like I did, they will give you
numbers.
Im also an RN student the crap this woman
was telling me was exactly that crap! She
used a lot of scare tactics. Make sure you
talk to a nurse or doctor who will give
you the facts which is exactly what you
need so you can make the choice for
yourself!
