PLEASE, CONSIDER ADOPTION. Not only for the sake of the life growing inside you, but for your OWN WELL-BEING.
Reasons for elective abortions:
An abortion is the termination of an embryo or fetus, either naturally or via medical methods.
When done electively, it is more often done within the first trimester than the second, and in serious cases where the mother's life or the life of the infant is endangered - rarely in the third.
Legality of socially indicated abortions varies widely both internationally and through time. In most countries of Western Europe, abortions during the first trimester were a criminal offense a few decades ago but have since been legalized, sometimes subject to mandatory consultations.
FACT: In Germany in 2009, less than 3% of abortions had a medical indication out of a total of 166.4%.
