Let me get this out of the way: No, I’m not in an abusive relationship. YES I thought about it and this is what I want. No, my parents would NEVER support me having a baby, they’re very strict traditional Catholic Latinos, they don’t talk to my 23-year-old cousin who had a baby anymore because they think he’s too young.

I’m 17, starting my senior year of high school, I don’t have a job yet. And neither does my boyfriend, which therein lies the problem.

I need to have an abortion, but I can’t afford one. How can I accumulate $500 for an abortion? Is there any way to go about this? Please I’m not here for a lecture on sexual health I’m extremely scared and I need help
