do your parents have to know if you get an abortion

Answer #1

I think you should tell your parents first. The laws may be different in evry state but in my state, when I was 17, my parents had to know and I had to go to 3 psychiatrists. Ultimately, I had the abortion but, looking back now, I wish I hadn’t. Just be informed. It’s up to you and you do have the right to have an abortion if you want to, just know your options.

Answer #2

Take it slow, we all do dumb things sometimes, BUT don’t LET ABORITION BE ONE OF THEM. Your family maybe alittle tic at you. But as time goes on everything will get better. trust me I’m old enought to know. Tell your family.

Answer #3

No they don’t need to know. But don’t kill the baby, you could give it up for adoption! Abortion is murdering another human being. Your baby is alive and can feel everything that is going on! So think about it before you go through with it, PLEASE.

hope I helped, xoxo :)

Answer #4

I dont know if your parents have to know or not but if you get an abortion I hope you suffer greatly for the rest of your life with the guilt of knowing you murdered your baby. I also hope that you are never able to have another baby later on, you dont deserve it

I love him so much. just dont do it. youll be greatful when you have your baby. they are the most wonderful thing in the whole world.

Answer #8

there is a better way. This child is ALIVE and helpless and can feel everything that is being done to its poor helpless body. From the day of conception this child has brain waves and its fragile body is already starting to form.

A few life development Facts 20 days: Foundations of brain, spinal cord and nervous system are laid. 24 days: Heart begins to beat. 30 days: Child has grown 10,000 times to 6-7 mm (1/4”) long. Brain has human proportions. Blood flows in veins (but stays separate from mother’s blood). 35 days: Pituitary gland in brain is forming. Mouth, ears and nose are taking shape. 42 days: Skeleton is formed. Brain coordinates movement of muscles and organs. Reflex responses have begun. Penis is forming in boys. (Mother misses second period.) 43 days: Brain waves can be recorded. 8 1/2 weeks: Fingerprints are being engraved. Eyelids and palms of hands are sensitive to touch. 9 weeks: Child will bend fingers around an object placed in the palm. Thumb sucking occurs. Fingernails are now forming. 10 weeks: Body is sensitive to touch. Child squints, swallows, puckers up brow and frowns. 11 weeks: Baby urinates, makes complex facial expressions - even smiles. 12 weeks: Vigorous activity shows distinct individuality. Child can kick, turn feet, curl and fan toes, make a fist, move thumbs, bend wrists, turn head, open mouth and press lips tightly together. Breathing is practiced. 13 weeks: Face is prettier, facial expressions resembling parents’. Movements are graceful, reflexes vigorous. Vocal chords are formed (but without air baby cannot cry). Sex organs are apparent. 4 months: Child can grasp with hands, swim and turn somersaults. 5 months: Sleeping habits appear, but a slammed door will provoke activity. Child responds to sounds in frequencies too high or low for adults to hear. 6 months: Fine hair grows on eye brows & head. Eye-lash fringe appears. Weight is about 640g (22 oz.), height 23 cm (9”). Babies born at this age have survived. 7 months: Eye teeth are present. Eyelids open and close, eyes look around. Hands grip strongly. Mother’s voice is heard and recognized.

This is a living breathing child, and not only would you be harming it-you’d be emotionally harming yourself. I believe that EVERY person in this world has a purpose and a destiny–this child will make an impression on this earth. There are other ways to “get out of this”..although a child is a true blessing adoption is a great way to relieve yourself and make another loving family very happy and grateful and blessed. This is something that you cant take back…think about it. pray about it.

God bless

Answer #9

yeah they have to know… they have to sign off on it… plus you are going to live with the the guilt of killing your baby for the rest of your life. I know many people who have commited suicide because they couldnt live with the guilt. Just think about it. There’s always adoption! Don’t kill the baby becuase its MURDER! But yeah I’m pretty sure you have to have parental consent to abort (I think)

Answer #10

abortion isnt as bad as theyre telling you. if you want one do it and no your parents don’t have to know.your body your baby your choice

Answer #11

Most areas require parental permission for this kind of procedure.
