Abortion clinics

    I'm a 22 year old female who I've just found out I'm pregnant. I'm single.
    I work in a retail job and am in no position to take care of a child all by myself. I took the morning after pill after unprotected sex but it did not work, I was on the pill and forgot one day, which is why I took the morning after.

    I'm looking into clinics over in England, but I don't even know where to start, would anyone on here be able to help?
    I don't even know what to expect price wise, I will have to go private as I can't afford health insurance and to be honest I don't even know if GPs can refer me to a clinic over in England.

    I really don't want to do this, but I feel I have no choice. My biggest worry is being unable to have children at a later date ... I just know in my heart that I would not be able to give a child what he or she needs or wants at the present time.

    Thanks

    folks, I understand that this is an emotive topic for many but keep the responses helpful, constructive and above all else compassionate. Failure to do so will result in immediate bans.

    OP, please check our charter. There are links there for agencies who will help you in your decision.

    Hey,

    I hope you are doing ok. I think the first step is to talk to Positive Options (http://www.positiveoptions.ie/) they will be in the best position to give you advice and talk you through your options.

    Good luck with whatever you decide.

    I truly wish we could help you OP.
    But, as this is still illegal in Ireland we cannot tell you where to go or what clinic to use as we would be breaking the (ridiculous) law of this land.

    Google is your friend here and the first two links are directed towards Ireland if you search "abortion clinics uk".
    They will answer any of your questions.

    Take care of yourself.
