can you get an surgical abortion if you are a month pregnant and can i still have sex

As adult women, we should be allowed to be in complete control of our bodies and how we choose to live.
If an abortion is the best choice for you in your stage of life, then you should be entitled to that decision. It's your body and your choice.

Good luck to you.

With all do respect to those in judgement and discussing responsibility did you forget that in order to become pregant a man must be involved? Why do we pass judgement on the women alone? Why do we expect women to be 100% responsible as if they became pregnant on their own. If we are pro life than we must educate men on how to behave in life and respect women. Sex is NOT an entitlement and they must think about the consequences before they begin their rants on but not limited too, "My sac hurts if I don't get off." "Come on you never want too, I'm not going to help you if you don't." "Hey how about a quickie." Men need to re-educate themselves that their so thought need for sex is purly FOR KEEPING THE human population on earth and it is scientific NOT an ACT THAT THEY ARE entitiled too. WE has women may be stupid because we often have sex when we don't want too b/c we feel manipulated but we are not without responsibility...whatever choice we as women make doing the best that we can and either way we live with our half of the responsibility and the the other half which is the mans, which means whatever choice we make we DEAL with the consequences because they both are severe and life changing. So start handing out material on how men can begin to use their private parts with consideration and respect for human life.

i'm really happy and relieved to see that more of you ladies are open-minded and accepting as opposed to those few that are so quick to be critical and senselessly respond with answers that they don't even fully understand. the reason why abortions are only legal during the first trimester is because that is the point of the pregnancy where the fetus has not yet developed any functioning vital organs (note how i said FUNCTIONING). people who say that babies have fingerprints, let alone FINGERS don't know wtf they're talking about. i'd really like them to present me with a medical degree and maybe they should be the one researching abortions before they start criticizing the practice as well as the people who choose to use it. the first thing that begins to develop in a fetus is it's brain in order to (for lack of better words) tell the developing cells what parts of the body they will become (arm, leg, etc.). during the first semester, this brain is so tiny and lacking of all the necessary components for a feeling, thinking brain that the whole process is entirely painless. the fetus is not aware. it doesn't know itself, let alone its surroundings or what happens to it. notice how presumably everyone can't remember anything from when they were born or when they were a baby. this is due to infantile amnesia--babies' brains aren't developed enough to maintain memory. if a living, breathing, birthed child can't even remember or know itself, a fetus that is closer to being a zygote than an actual baby doesn't have the means to feel pain or have any right or choice on what is done to it. if you are so against abortion, i sure hope you're also against artificial insemination (which by the way helps tons of people have a family when their bodies are physically incapable of having a baby) because they fertilize multiple eggs knowing only one (maybe a few in the case of twins, triplets, etc.) will survive to develop to an actual baby. if people can lay waste upon these already fertilized eggs, how do you view one fertilized egg that a woman decides--for whatever reason she has--that she cannot have to possess more value?

For the gal that posted the initial question. I was 5 wks along and I had a choice between the surgical or the medication (pills) abortion. After much research, I chose the surgical and was so glad I did. It was painless. I no pain at all, barely bled and it was done in 5-10 minutes. My morning sickness also went away right afterward and I was able to eat again. I would definitely choose the surgical over the pills as I know someone who took the pills and there was so much cramping and bleeding and it's a 2-3 day process.

For the Guest gal. This is a support forum for people. You need to take your pro life opinions elsewhere. Nobody is coming on your pro life forums and posting prochoice stuff so learn some respect and move on. Women's right to choose is theirs alone to make just as it is your sole right to procreate.

Hey Guest,
I suggest you do some reading up regarding the time line of development during pregnancy. At one month there is yet no heartbeat, the circulatory system has not yet developed, and there have yet to be any extremities budding from the approx 150 cells called and embryo. There are no fingerprints. I am sorry that you obviously are plagued with negative memories and emotions from your 3 abortions. I would not pretend to assume that I know what your circumstances were that brought you to that. I can tell you that you will never find relief from your own discomfort by trying to hurt others. Express your feelings and ask for sympathy. If you attack, don't expect anything other than the negativity that you project toward others.

can i just say for all the women that are talking about killing a human being... you try being 18 or younger and pregnant. putting that amount of pressure on yourself and family is stupid when you have choice. Don't judge until you have been put in the situation yourself, its not like it took one second to come to the decision. Oh and by the way if you're so law abiding and perfect aren't we taught not to judge others? Yeah so get lost and shut your mouths cos this is the hardest decision i have made in my life.

for ppl who are against abortions thats your opinion, your saying "its killing another human being" but think about the society we live in us "human beings" kill other "human Beings" every second of the day . some ppl cant affford to raise babies, some ppl may have made a mistake while being pregnant some, ppl dont want to disapiont their mothers or whatever their reason is its THEIR choice and they dont need ppl talking down to them making them feel guilty. so just stop judging ppl you dont even know.

Here is a suggestion for all you re****s out there having abortions, don't have sex. It's common sense. I got pregnant when I was 17 by a guy I knew for a month. My mom is a pastor and it was the hardest thing I ever did to tell her, she kicked me out and I had to be on my own for a while. I had just broken up with my boyfriend of two years and I made a mistake and that mistake has turned out to be the best thing that has ever happened to me. You guys are idiots. I do not care what your situation is. If you can't pay the price then you don't need to be having sex. You all act like having a baby is a disease and you can just get rid of it. Well that's not how it is, and that is not why God gave us the ability to have children. You guys are going to have a lot of explaining to do on judgment day. Good luck.

does planned parenthood or kaiser notify the parents of the abortion or contraception, even if you are over 18? does kaiser cover the bill for planned parenthood?

Hi Diamond,

For one month pregnancy the pill works good and yes there is always a little pain in the end. I had abortions myself when i was in south america I went to the clinic and they gave me medicine it was easy and i never had any pain or any discomfort it was like I had my period. Well i had second one and it was VERY painful, I was about 3 months and 2 weeks pregnant i took medicine as well but it didnt work good i was bleeding for days till i decided to go to the Dr.I had D&C,it was painful before and after the procedure but after 3 weeks i felt better and Now i am pregnant again but I will keep my baby as I got everything settled. I already have 6 years old daughter.

Good luck to you and God Bless.

I dun think there's a judgement to be involved wif,women have their own deicison if they want the baby or not, 12 weeks before is not even a baby is only being called fetus. You don't know their story so why do u judge? A women who is like her, she's very strong, we should give her support, not judgement.

Sorry guest, but maybe diamond has reasons such as age, financial circumstances ect as her reasoning, all of which are her own.
At that early of a stage the 'fetus' which is actually an embryo is not even the size of a pea, it has no heart beat until 6 weeks so no it's not a human, it is just a bunch of cells.
Your comment was not necessary she didn't ask for your opinion on what you try to preach is as against abortion when you've had three which obviously means you're pro. So what's your reasoning at 'killing your children'? You spastic.

That is really sad that you can have sex but can't pay the price when you get preg. Do you realize your baby has a beating heart? do you realize it already had finger prints. You better think about it long and hard. What kind of guilt are you going to feel when you DO have kids and see what you killed. You will also risk not being able to get pregnant in the future. People die from abortions. You should really read into it before you go let some dr cut your baby up and remove it from you. You are not just killing your baby you are also risking your life and your health.

well now i feel bad i have to get an abortion.im onley 13 and i was raped and my heath isnt good and i have to get one cause i cant take that kind of pain or respoibleitily so i rather it be gone now then i live alife where it has to suffer.dont you?

this goes out to everyone on here that is reading this there couple of way u can do is abortion or adoption. adoption is good too cause u can always give your baby to someone who can take kare of him/her. that all i have to really said. i mean abortion can be good and bad but that really up to the person who want that but adoption is the good choice cuz if u aint ready to being the baby in this world u can always give up for an adoption give the baby to some family that cant have kids and they will be thankful for that.that all i really have to said.

I'm only 18 and i am pregnant, I have a really supportive boyfriend who has talked through everything with me and made sure my oppinions were heard aswell, we even both had a good cry but have realised at 18 and 19 we are not in a financial state nor a responsible state to bring a baby into the world
