Crisis pregnancy - too young for abortion?
 |
| I’m sick with worry. I think my teenage daughter might be pregnant. She’s only fourteen years old. Is she too young for an abortion? |

Abortion can be performed on a fourteen year old but that procedure is not legally available in this country. It would be necessary for your daughter to travel to another jurisdiction if that option were to be pursued.
