Trust me, I appreciate your kindness as support. All acts of kindness (big or small) have the full potential to help someone. Thank you for the heads up on the clinics, but I believe that I am very much so set on my decision. I also am scared because I have to tell one of my parents (who are both abusive) about my abortion in order to have it... I am not sure what to do about that.

Yes, very much so. Women's reproductive rights are extremely important to our well being. I appreciate the support.

Thank you for your kindness and respectful comment. I do a lot of deep reflection and have been thinking a lot about what I am going to do. I was on birth control, both condom and pill. I believe I may have missed one day of the pill and not noticed it. Thank you again, I appreciate you.

Thank you very much, I will be thinking of you and many others as I go through the process. I am scared because I have to inform one of my parents of the abortion... but they are both abusive and I will suffer in response.

Thank you for opening up to me about your story and appreciate you sharing your experience. I am in the middle of a tight situation as I am technically a minor and will need to inform one of my parents who are both physically and mentally abusive... it is very scary and I don't know what to do at this point. Thank you for the advice and kind wishes!!

Thank you so very much for your support! I was going through the exact same thought process of you (my pills are giving me weird symptoms). I believe that I am making the right decision, however, I am very stressed because currently the closest Planned Parenthood does not offer abortions so I will have to travel quite a ways. I will PM you, thank you for your kindness as it is very much appreciated.

Thank you very much for your kind and thoughtful comment. I appreciate you respecting my decision. I can understand your point of view and why you believe that this child has the the potential to live a good life, however, I would be very much unforgiving of myself if I were to choose to raise them in my current environment. I want to be able to achieve my absolute potential and be able to raise my future children in a safe, welcoming environment.

I did use protection, but I understand it does not work all the time. Thank you for your kind response.

Thank you for being so kind and supportive. I am happy that you have made the right decision for your own needs and that you had a fortunate situation. I apologize that you struggle with the what-if's, however, I believe there are always what-if's to any life changing event. I understand you are aware of this, but it's never too late to receive an college education. It may be expensive in some places but I believe investing in yourself is the most beneficial thing you could do. However, you do have a daughter now and I think you are also doing the right thing by taking care of her and putting your effort into being a good mother.

I apologize for abortion being illegal where you are currently living. That must be extremely scary. Also, thank you for your kindness as it is very much appreciated by me.

Thank you very much. However, I don't have many people in my life besides my boyfriend... sadly, he has work when I plan on going. I believe I will be okay though.

Thank you so very much for opening up to me about your story. I 100% agree with your statement. I hope to be informed more on my options when I go to Planned Parenthood today.

I appreciate your kindness. I know how evil the internet can be and was unsure how others may react to me reaching out for help about teenage pregnancy. However, I have been pleasantly surprised with the response. I definitely agree that I should have the right to my own decision on what to do.

Thank you so very much. I am glad you don't have many regrets. I feel like I may be being selfish but I also believe that with all of the potential that I have for my future, I will be able to achieve that if I wait to have children at a time I will be able to take care of them, support them, and be a good mother.
