There is the morning after pill, but that has to be taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex. There is also the "abortion pill" which is really a combination of two medications, mifepristone and misoprostol that is an option for women who are 8 weeks pregnant or less. Most doctors won't even do an abortion after the first trimester (about three months). She would also be showing a little by 4 months so it would have been harder to hide it.

1. you live in a state or country where it is legal
2. you find a clinic willing to perform the procedure. Most don't after 12 weeks (3 months). The further along you are, the more you're health is at risk. It's safer to carry to term, and if you must, consider adoption instead.
3. you're willing to pay the higher cost. The longer you wait, the more it will cost. After 10-12 weeks you're looking at around $1000.00 or more.
The abortion pill (Mifeprex) only works if you are 8 weeks pregnant or less. Plan B is emergency contraception that works only up to 72 hours after unprotected sex. Available to women 18yrs or older.
Young girls should know the facts. Sex isn't just a fun thing to do. It something that should be done responsibly and under no pressure. If you are considering having sex or already are, read as much as you can about safe sex. Abortions are nothing to joke about.
