Please don't delay seeking help out of fear. Should you decide to get an abortion, the earlier you have the abortion the better. Most abortion providers only offer abortions early in pregnancy, and later abortions are more expensive and carry additional risks. If you decide to carry your pregnancy to term, early prenatal care is important for your health and the health of your baby.
Abortion is legal in Pennsylvania and in every state for women of all ages.
In Pennsylvania, however, most young women aged 17 and under must get permission for the abortion from one parent or a judge. They can also talk to you about your next steps. Be careful about finding an abortion provider through the phone book. No one can force you to get an abortion or use birth control. No one can force you to continue your pregnancy.
