Pregnant and Under Age

Jenny wrote:

I am not certain about the age of abortion without parental knowledge. I am in the situation were I might be pregnant. Me and my partner have both already discussed that an abortion is the best solution for both of us.

But because I am under the age of 18, I was curious if you can have an abortion without your parents signing for it?

Dear Jenny

It depends completely on where you live. Laws vary.

But you really should consider getting advice from someone other than your boyfriend, especially if he has been putting any pressure on you.

I'd strongly advise you to pluck up courage and speak to your mum, too.
