Read about how abortions are performed, and you will find it is monstrous and ghoulish. I just don't know how moral people can tolerate this.”

I fell pregnant at the age of 15. It was possibly the biggest regret of my life so far aborting my baby as not a day goes by where i dont feel guilt ad wonder what could have been. Different people have different circumstances but i felt my father persuaded me to abort my baby obviously because i was 15 and he didnt think i could handle it. But I also regret getting rid of my baby on somebody elses (my fathers) decision. So one piece of advise i would give to any young teen who is pregnant and facing the desision on what to do, is just make sure it is your own desision! You'll regret not having your say on your baby's life, i know i do.”

I am 14 and had an abortion a few months ago. I felt at the time it was the only decision due to exams and my life ahead of me. But now i question myself wondering, if i could have coped having a child at the young age and what the baby would have looked like. Me and my boyfriend's relationship didn't change but i feel as though it would never be the same because the impact of the young pregnancy has caused.”

I think at the time I was quite upset because you know you do sort of wonder about what what the child would have looked like.”

In England, Wales and Scotland abortion is legal until the 24th week of pregnancy.
Exceptions can be made after this time if (a) the woman’s life is at risk or (b) the baby is likely to be severely disabled.
To get an abortion on the NHS, a woman needs to be referred by a doctor.
