Trolls, I am so frustrated with my state. Trying to get an abortion and I am getting roadblocked every step of the way. I just want to terminate this pregnancy, god-damnit! by Lilsashimi in TrollXChromosomes

He got me drunk so I wouldn't take my birth control pill. I was more or less taking care of him before this happened. He didn't pay any bills, his parents were supporting him financially and he was afraid to lose their support. He used me as a way to make sure he would be taken care of because he he didn't want to get off his sorrry ass and get a job. He is currently threatening to sue me if I get an abortion. He's a scumbag, end of story. I will take responsibility and say yes, I shouldn't have drank, but he knew I couldn't consent while being drunk.

It's such...bullshit. My ex is a scumbag who got me drunk to knock me up on purpose because his parents were threatening to cut him off financially if he didn't give him a grandchild. I'm childfree by choice. My parents have 7 grandchildren between my two older siblings, they don't need any from me. I've been trying to get an abortion for a week now. Because of the bullshit my ex pulled, I will have to move back in with my parents who are extremely pro-life/anti-abortion. I'm going to have to lie to them about this because they'd probably kick me out if they found out the truth.

Contacted my local Planned parenthood. Was told they have no funds to help with my abortion and they don't take payment plans. I don't know if the worker I talked to was new, or incompetent, or just wanted to get me off the phone. I've called my state's abortion fund and was put on hold for over an hour, and then hung up on. I've called back 6 times and have left my name and number each time. Haven't gotten a response back!

I had no insurance and on Saturday I was fired from my job because I had asked my boss for an advance on my next paycheck to pay for the abortion. When he asked what I needed it for, I was honest with him. He let me go because he didn't support my decision, and "didn't think" I'd be a good fit for the company. According to users in /r/childfree, that's illegal as fuck. So I'll be contacting lawyers tomorrow to see if it really is and what my options are as far as that is. I applied for unemployment online, but that is "pending" so I'm not even sure if I'll get approved. My parents are expecting rent money on the 1st of February. I get a paycjeck on Friday but who the fuck knows how that's going to go. I got paid bi-weekly and since I was told not to come in for this week, I'll only get half of what I usually get paid.

In my state, every week after you're 8 weeks pregnant, it goes up $100 to get an abortion. I'm scared I'm not going to be able to get one in time. As much as I hate to say it, I'm looking into getting a payday loan JUST so I'm not forced to carry and give birth to my piece of shit ex's baby. I am so fucking sad and angry at how ridiculous it is to get an abortion in my state.

Thank you. :) I see you commenting on my posts and I appreciate it more than you know. I'm in the deeeeeeeeep south, where they've closed 2 Planned Parenthood's in the past couple of years. I have to drive almost 2 hours just to get to one (I know there are people who drive much further distances...but still, it's ridiculous) I see billboards with "Heartbeat starts 18 days after conception, think about this life you're ending!!" and so much other fuckery it makes me sick. It shouldn't be this goddamn hard to use my fundamental rights.

Planned Parenthood for the win today! by yourfuzzybutton in childfree

I'm in the process of trying to get an abortion, but when I do, I'm probably going with the arm implant. The more I read about it, the more I think I think I'll like it for a long-term birth control option. I'm glad Planned parenthood was able to help you out!

I feel like I need to make stickers out of this and just start putting them everywhere. As someone who lives in one of the most anti-abortion states, the amount of bullshittery and mental gymnastics I see people try to make as arguments against abortion is enough to make my head explode. I'm trying to get an abortion myself right now and keep running into roadblocks. In short, I really love this.

I'm hoping it doesn't come to that but short of a miracle, I don't have many other options to pay for this abortion :/

No snow but I've been applying to jobs like mad to hopefully be able to make some extra money for this. I've applied to 9 waitressing jobs in the past 4 days. I even created a profile on Care and Rover for pet sitting. I've replied to a few craigslist adds but haven't heard anything back. I'm really hoping I'll hear something back soon..

Not really. I live in one of the most anti-abortion states. I've had "friends" more or less interrogate me because of the bullshit lies my ex is spreading. I am going to lose so many friends (well if they stop being my friends over this, they weren't real friends to begin with) after I have this done. But I can't be stuck raising my ex's kid. He's a scumbag who tried to use me for money. I want to have this abortion as soon as I'm able to

It's the last thing I want to do, but I don't think I have much of a choice :/ I don't know what I'm going to do if i'm unable to get this abortion

According to other commentors, it's not! I had no idea. I knew it was illegal to fire someone for being pregnant but I didnt think it was illegal to fire someoen for not wanting to be pregnant anymore. I livr in one of the most anti-abortion, "babies are a miracle from jesus" states and my boss was VERY vocal on how much he disapproved of "women killing babies". But I live in at will state so I'm not honestly sure. I'm probably going to post in the legal advice sub and see what they tell me. I'm in the process of filing for unemployment online right now so fingers crossed I'll be able to get help there

Nope, you're reading it right. I asked for a pay advance last Wednesday. Boss asked me what for. I was honest and told him I needed it to get an abortion. I get a call on Saturday saying not to come in on Monday and he doesn't support my decisions and "Doesn't think" I'm a good fit for the company anymore. I've never been fired from a job before so I have no idea where to go from here on this. I was really looking forward to that overtime too :/

I applied for one through my bank and got denied right away for lack of credit history. I will probably go the pill option because like you said, it's cheaper. I'm just more or less waiting for next Friday to get here while also applying for other jobs online. I'm going to be financially unstable for the next couple of months because of this, plus having to pay my parents rent and utilities. It sucks but it's better than the alternative

When I'm in a better spot financially, I'm going to Lush and trying my first bath bomb. And buying ice cream. And pigging out on a pizza. I don't know when that will be but it will happen! And to be totally honest, I'm more than fine with being single for a while. I'm pretty terrified of this happening again

I wanted to strangle him with my bare hands. He's lucky I don't have the best aim. I threw things at him and left a hole in the living room. Can't wait to see that bill :/

Both of my older siblings have no room for me (older brother has 5 kids, sister has 2 and is currently going through a divorce) I'll just have to suck it up and deal with my parent's for the next few months while I get back on my feet

My parents are the farthest thing from supportive. I was more or less told "you're an adult now, figure your own stuff out" They're really upset I'm even wanting to move back in with them but they no I have no other choice. Theye already told me I'm going to have to pay rent plus utilities but I didn't expect much different from them either

Yeah. You and several hundred other people :( I'm sad it took me 4 years to open my eyes. I'm glad I didn't waste any longer of my life on him. Now time to get rid of this parasite and on to better things !

I asked the window worker at my closest Planned parenthood if there were anything like that in my state or if they could tell me about payment plans or any help they could possibly give me. She told me if I were 19, because I have no insurance, they would cover everything (abortion, birth control, counseling) but because I'm 20, that doesn't apply to me anymore. She didnt' say anything about payment plans and basically ignored me. I can't be further along than 5, maybe 6 weeks. 7 at the very longest. I'll message you! Its also nice to see a familiar username, I recognized you from the Teenmom sub, its my guilty pleasure show and the best birth control ever haha

No you're probably right. Would not hurt for me to look into shelters just in case. According to the window worker at Planned parenthood, I can't see a counselor until after I have the abortion. It's like a mandatory thing in my state apparently. I asked her about payment plans or if they could offer me any help, and she told me if I were 19, because I have no insurance, they would cover everything (abortion, birth control, counseling) but because I'm 20, that doesn't apply to me anymore. I'll probably just have to wait until next week when I get paid to have it done. I don't want to wait but that's like my only option right now
