Do you need parental consent for an abortion or just a person 18 or older?

I don't know, I think that under 18 you would have to have parental consent since you're a minor.

It depends where you are in the world - however this being a .P.R.E.G.N.A.N.C.Y forum, a lot of the girls on here are hormonal, have new baby's or are trying to conceive and desperately want a child - it might not be the best idea to post this in here.

Think carefully about why you're doing this... Once you see that baby's heart beating on the screen then it will change .A.N.Y feelings you had before. It's inexplicable.

Consider this carefully - it's not a decision to make lightly, but if you go ahead with it then you will have to live with the fact that you lost a child and that you were at the bottom of it... I lost my son .Dylan - not through abortion, he died after her was born (a couple of weeks old) so i'm sorry if I have a strong opinion on this... I am 16 and would probably had an abortion but for lots of things getting in the way. I'm so glad I didn't my time with my son was bittersweet but the best time of my life.

Think about it - you can't go back.

I agree with sandra!!!

Everyone in this forum is trying to conceive, pregnant, or already had their baby. This is a baby loving forum so I think its pretty rude to come in it and talk about if your able to have an abortion without parental consent when theres women in here thats still trying to conceive their 1st. Please go somewhere else to ask that horrible question. Not tying to be rude but I beleive im speaking on behalf of the women that visit this site regularly.
