What to do if I’m 17 years old and 5 weeks pregnant and my mother is forcing me to have an abortion against my will?

I have always supported pro-life. I know if I am forced to follow through with this procedure I will have extreme psychological effects. I am scared of the procedure, and I have never supported abortion. Do they really have the right to do this?

Under the laws of all states in this country you as a minor who is pregnant cannot be forced by your mother to have an abortion. I suggest that you consult with the following to assist you in your matter:

1. a family law attorney;

2. the local planned parenthood clinic;

3. the local legal aid clinic.
