Before I answer your question I really want to make you aware of a few things. I know in the end it is your body, your life, your decision, and possibly even your mistake. I am truly only concerned for your well-being and hope to make you a little more knowledgeable before you make a definite choice.
Abortion can really harm your body just as much as giving birth to a child. I understand your body may not be mature enough to handle pregnancy but no woman's body is truly ready to abort a fetus. A baby can deplete your body of nutrients (which is why pregnant women need to take their prenatal vitamins) but an abortion can leave you scarred physically and/or mentally.
Women who have had abortions can experience problems later on. Many women suffer from depression after having an abortion because, in the end, they come to realize that they have completely stopped another human life. The dates of conception, abortion, and the estimated day the child would have been born haunts many women for years. Some woman can't deal with this so much that they end up committing suicide. If that isn't enough, many women experience difficulty conceiving years later after an abortion--yes, it can render you infertile for the rest of your days.
You don't say your age but I still found a VERY interesting site for teenagers on abortion. I'm not sure if you're a teenager or not but it seems that majority of the users on this site are so I hope you can relate. These girls had abortions when they were your age and have gained courage to write about their experiences for other teens to read:

Most of them regret that they had an abortion. Many of them cannot get over that fact and have the dates stuck in their minds. I'm sure that when that date passes each year they are reminded of what they went through to rid themselves of a life they were developing inside of their wombs.
I also want to direct you to a site that shows a live abortion. It's in different parts because the speaker gives you a lot of information on what the fetus and the mother will be going through. The video shows the ultra-sound as the procedure happens. It is important you see this before having an abortion so that you know fully what will be happening--it is best to inform yourself well. Before clicking the link to watch the video, prepare yourself because it is real life:

...Part 3 really starts to show the actual abortion happening. The speaker does add that the doctor that did the abortion never did another one and that the woman filming it never spoke about abortion again, though she was previously for it.
Please know that abortion is not your only option. Please give yourself plenty of time to decide what is the best choice. Even if your parents are upset that you are pregnant they will eventually get over it. Some parents can be really hurt in the beginning that their son or daughter disobeyed but, in the end, they still love you. Many parents later realize that the unborn baby IS their grandchild and help their son or daughter to figure out how to raise the baby when it comes.
Please do not put your body through the mess that is abortion. Take your chances and open up to your parents about what has happened. Like I said, even if they are upset they WILL get over it.
Adoption is always an option of yours if you are not physically, mentally, or financially capable of caring for another human life. Please look into it if you feel you can carry the child but not raise it properly. You can contact an adoption agency in your area or you can relinquish your rights of your child and place it in the custody of the state for adoption. I've read something about Volunteers of America for adoptions being really good but I have no personal experience with them myself. Here is a link directing you to their site:

Planned parenthood usually charges a fee based on your income and what procedure they will be doing. Every planned parenthood tends to be different so your best option is to call them or stop by the clinic and ask them directly how much it would cost for them to do an abortion. They will need to know roughly how far along you are and may ask for your current income. Even if you don't have an income, I believe there is still a base price on the procedure at planned parenthood.
I am unsure if planned parenthood needs all of the money upfront for an abortion or not but I know that some expensive procedures you are able to pay on monthly. To be able to pay monthly you may need to show proof of income. Again, it's best if you call or visit the clinic to get a definite answer on this.
Here is the link to help you find your local planned parenthood if you're unaware of it's location. It lists the times the clinic is open, it's location, and the phone number:

In certain states you must be a specific age to be able to have an abortion without parental consent. You do not specify your age but I thought I'd add it in just in case it became a concern of yours.
I hope that you take enough time to decide what choice is the best before rushing into things.

Abortions aren't free.
Please don't have an abortion, its murder.
Give the baby up for adoption if you aren't ready for one yourself.
