It'll be at the discretion of your doctor, with you being under 16. If you have any siblings or family members that are over 16 then you could ask them to give consent. Go to your GP and hopefully, they'll let you do it either without parental consent or with the consent of a family member who is 16+. You can always have a friend pose as a cousin for this - nobody will check. It's unlikely that your doctor would flat out refuse you one just because you're under 16. They will "strongly advise" you tell your parents, so you just have to put your foot down on that. They cannot contact your parents without your permission, so it won't get back to them. If your doctor thinks you are "mature" and able to handle this decision by yourself, they can bend the rules slightly. If one doctor says no, then by all means try and find a different doctor who will say yes.

I dont choose you as this might take place every physique and you cant have had an undemanding life using fact you're in care. Im guessing you're 13-15 so which you may desire to be terrified. bypass see your well being care expert as quickly as possible so which you will get the ball rolling, in case you're under 9 weeks on the time of abortion they are in a position to grant you the abortions pills it quite is plenty much less nerve-racking so bypass see your well being care expert right now away because it quite is pressing. stable luck. x.

It is entirely possible to have an abortion and not feel guilt because you knew it was the right thing to do.

No you don't if you go to a hospital. Also, you can have a medical termination which is not surgical and works on the grounds of natural miscarriage, but of course it's not natural. I've just had one and I'm 16. But I really think yu should tell your parents or a member of your family, it really helps, it's a hard thing to go through on your own believe me!

Do adoption, killing your child doesn't make you a mother no-more it just makes you the mother of a dead baby. Find a loving family, maybe to people that can't have a child, or a gay couple, someone who'll feel blessed to have such a generous gift.
