Hi guys, I just found out my girlfriend is pregnant, she called Baby Arizona Program however was given a runaround. She is a US citizen with no health insurance & a student with limited income. Any ideas or sugguestions would be really appreciated! Thanks

Have her get a can of brown shoe polish and apply to skin and learn
a little spanish only then will she get what she needs and more. Sad but true. |
|
there are usually campus related programs that can help, have her check out the administration at her school.
|
|
|
If you got her pregnant, how about using some birth control (next time)?
If you don't have the money for this kid, it becomes everyone's burden. Respond accordingly. (edited to simplify) |
|
Thanks guys for your helps! Man, this really keep me up all night!

Hey M4..have her apply for AHCCCS (pronounced Access)!
Baby Arizona Applicants Baby Arizona is a simple, faster way for pregnant women to apply for AHCCCS medical coverage under the federal SOBRA program, a category of AHCCCS members. Who should apply? Pregnant women who have no insurance, low income and are United States citizens, lawful permanent residents or qualified under certain immigrant categories. How to apply: Call the Arizona Department or Health Services Pregnancy and Breast Feeding Hotline at 1-800-833-4642: * You will be given names of doctors who participate in the Baby Arizona Program; * Choose one of the doctors; * Make an appointment for a prenatal (pregnancy) visit; * At your first visit, the office staff will assist you in completing an application for AHCCCS medical coverage; * You will be asked to take information with you to your first visit to show you are eligible for the Baby Arizona program. The application process is 20 working days from the time an application is received, but applicants can usually receive care sooner, depending on a doctor's office schedule. If the applicant is ineligible, a reasonable payment plan may be arranged with the doctor's office for the services received, and to continue care. Hope this helps!

i was going to ask a similar question, he IS the one most responsible !! |

If it is your child, you have a major decision to make. I wouldn't jump on the abortion wagon just yet. Talk with her and her parents about this. You will carry the burden of an abortion with you for the rest of your life. Life is choices, make this one wisely.

As said above, it's time to man up.
YOU support her and YOUR child. If I sound harsh, it's because I'm tired of supporting the kids of women I never had sex with. |
|
+1 It may be difficult for a little while, but still achieving personal goals and taking care of a child is doable. Don't listen to that kids ruin your life crap. Until my wife and I had our son, we didn't realize how empty life was without our son. |
|
|
That's a high crawl. His head's too high. |
|
|
I also suggest an abortion, unless you REALLY care for her and want to be with her for the rest of your life. I have a friend who had a kid at 20. Now his then girlfriend bleeds him dry by spending the money he gives her for the kid on herself when she doesn't have a job.
|
|
Yea thats it kill the baby to make your life easier. Maybe your Mother should of had an Abortion? Edit for spelling... |
|
|
Get an abortion. If you don't want to get an abortion you need to take responsibility. That means take her to the doctor and let them know you will be making payments on the bills.
|
|
It should suprise me how many irresponsible fucktards are posting in this thread, but it doesn't.
|
|
Man up and take care of it. I do not want to pay for it in any way shape or form. Period.
|
|
I say have the kid and sell it to some rich folk who want to fast track the adoption process.
I have always wanted to own a baby farm! |
|
I suppose she got got that way all by herself. Take some responsibility.
|
|
And a new sig is born! |
|
|
Agreed... Guys, could we leave the 'ol abortion arguement out of it? If that's your advice, fine, but can we not hash out the ethics of it again here? |
|
|
How about getting your advise somewhere other than a gun board for starters.
Im not sure why you would take advise for people who dont really know you and your girlfriend. Best of luck |
|
People here are actually advocating KILLING the baby because daddy fucked mommy and now theres a kid There was a time Men were Men. Sell your guns, get a 3rd job, sell your car, don't eat out, don't see movies, don't waste a cent. This is NOT the babies fault but your own. Man up & deal with it. You don't need Welfare to raise a kid or my tax dollars. Work your ass off and be proud of what you have accomplished in life. Don't make the biggest mistake of it now.

And Women were Women. And Highly-Intelligent Shades of Blue were Highly-Intelligent Shades of Blue. |

Guys, Thanks for your replies & info. I just want to say people always have different opinions that's why we live in this FREE country. On abortion I think it is up to my girlfriend because it is her body not mine. I really want to thanks the guys who gave us the informations on how to get healthcare & I never thought so many would reply since this is a AR15 board after all. Man, you guys really touched me! Thanks again!
|
|
Just a little bit of prayer will work wonders to help you plan your future. Best wishes.

|
Now figure out how to operate a prophylactic device, or we are gonna touch you some more. With pointy sticks..... |

On the subject of abortion, It's not just her decision. It is your baby that she is growing in her body. I dont think it is right for her to get an abortion if you dont want her to. If she wants to kill the baby and you arent ok with that, you should do everything in your power to change her mind and at least deliver the baby and let you raise it. My wife was 20 when she got pregnant. She was a full time student and worked full time right up until she had him. We didnt have health care, we paid for the medical bills on payments. It was tough, but we managed. Our credit even got a little screwed up. She eventually finished school and has a great job now. Our credit scores are top notch again. Going through tough times can help a family grow stronger. It can be done. If she is a good woman, and you love her, make a family for yourself. You all ready did the easy part, now try the hard part. Like they say "any fool with a dick can make a baby, it takes a real man to be a father" |

It wasn't meant to be an attack. I was just trying to make a point. The point was if she had you would not be here. Then you would not be able to voice your opinion. Looks like it went right over your head. |

Wrong. Until she gives birth to it, it is hers and hers alone. Unless you have a way to transplant it into the OP's body. He donated sperm. Not even donated, gave away. All the rest of the work (and risk) is hers, unless sympathetic preeclampsia is a regular occurence. If you don't ever want to be involved in the possibility of abortion, and you are swingin' a dick, my suggestion would be condoms or masturbation because once you bust that nut, it is out of your hands completely. |

I understand that legally it is her baby untill birth, but in reality it is 1/2 his. Half of his DNA is growing in her. If a woman was growing my child in her, I would do all that I could to protect my baby.
|
|
Legally? Howabout physically? Does that mean that she belongs to him while the baby is using her blood supply? No? Why not? Abortion is a shit choice. But so is blowing a clean shot at a good future because of the inability to roll on a rubber. If she is gonna abort it, and he does love her, it needs to be HER CHOICE and hers alone. He needs to support her whichever way she goes. If you stick your dick somewhere, you have to be ready for the consequences. |

Have her talk to staff at the county hospital. Find a case manager, and they may be able to find a way to obtain payment for healthcare. With illegal immigrants sucking up millions of dollars, they might be able to slip a baby delivery in somewhere.
