TEEN LINE WROTE:
Hey,
I am really glad that you contacted TEEN LINE. It sounds like you are going through a lot right now but that you have a good head on your shoulders. What you are facing is incredibly daunting and I completely understand why you are scared. However, it seems like you know for sure that you are not ready to have another baby. You are a young girl who is still trying to discover herself. I would encourage you to get more information on the surgical abortion procedure, maybe if you know more you will be less scared and you'll be able to decide if the abortion is worth the risk. A good place to go for information about pregnancy and abortion is Planned Parenthood. A consultation is free and they are located all over. To find one near you you can call their number (800) 230-7526. I want to commend you for being so strong through all of this. Please, if you ever need to talk more call us here at TEEN LINE. We are open everyday from 6 to 10 pm Pacific Daylight Time and our number is (310) 855-4673.
Thanks,
a TEEN LINE teen
