You need to check out the nevada laws, it
varies between states, and how far along
are you?

;\ I dont know what to say, but I think
its horrible for ur mom to make you abort.
You should always have a say, its your
body, your choice.

Okay, I looked it up..
And all I can really find is that you dont
need your parents permission to have an
abortion. Which dosent really say
much.
I dont think that in any state your mother
can .F.O.R.C.E you to abort your baby.
But I may be wrong.. I'll keep looking
but I think that .Y.O.U have to consent to
it.
*edit*
this is all I could find...I dont know if
it applies to teenagers aswell but I
suppose it could.
Quote:
don't pretend
it's going to be ok to give in to an
unwanted abortion to get someone else to
leave you alone. (read abortion stories
from women who have had forced abortions,
and those from women who were coerced by
their partner or parents.)
our recommendation to any woman who is
being harassed � or physically
harmed � to cause her to have an
unwanted abortion is to seek legal advice,
or get help from the police.
Some women have been seriously injured or
killed for refusing to have abortions, and
any woman who fears for her personal
safety needs to take immediate action to
protect herself.
Harassment, violence, threats of violence,
threatening to kill, and kidnapping
� some of the ways people might try
to cause a woman to have an abortion
� are usually considered offenses
in countries where abortion is readily
accessible.
In countries where abortion is illegal,
any attempt to cause a woman to have an
unwanted abortion is also illegal.
Women can seek legal protection from
harassment, violence, and/or threats of
harm by calling the police, or seeking
legal advice.
Women's refuges (women's shelters) can
�hide� women who fear for
their safety, and protection orders can be
served against anyone who harasses or
threatens pregnant women.
If someone is threatening to commit
suicide to cause a woman to have an
unwanted abortion, call the police, or a
psychiatric facility, for advice.
If you are taken to an abortion clinic by
force, tell the staff that you are there
against your will, and ask them to call
the police. (high levels of security at
abortion clinics should ensure your
personal safety.) do not sign any forms at
the clinic, instead write something like
�help me� or �call
police� on the form instead of your
signature

Your mom can't force you to get an
abortion. There are some states that
require parental permission to get an
abortion, but to my knowledge, there are
no laws that can force a person (whether
they are over or under the age of 1 to get an abortion.
Good luck! I'm rooting for you!

Even if she checks out the laws... If her
mom wants her to abort the baby and she
keeps it... What will her mom do? Kick
her out? Not support her? Cut off her
insurance...? Hunny do you have a job?
Means for transportation? A way to get
your own insurance? Father in the life?
How old is he? Could you move out and
make it on your own?
Think of it that wayy...? I am not
telling you to get an abortion but you
need to talk to your mom about all those
factors if you are going to keep the
baby... I mean if anything you could
always adopt the baby out ... Since
abortion doesnt have to be an option...
My parents always told me it would be
forced on me if I ever wound up pregnant
under the age of 18,...
to get an abortion.
Good luck! I'm rooting for you!
