An abortion is the forcible removal of a developing baby from the.
womb of his or her mother, using surgical, mechanical, or chemical means. .
In some countries and States it is illegal. People need to know that.
abortions can be done either illegally or legally. Abortions have been.
practiced for centuries in several different ways. Some of the reasons why,.
is to restrict population growth. There is about 1.5 million abortions (and.
rising) done annually. There are several different ways an abortion can be.
performed. Here are just a few examples:.
Suction Aspiration; The method of abortion most commonly used for.
early pregnancies. The abortionist inserts a hollow plastic tube into the.
dilated uterus. The tube is connected to a powerful suction apparatus. The.
suction tears the baby into pieces.
Dilation and Evaluation; Used after 12 weeks. A pliers-like.
instrument is needed because the babies bones are calcified, as is the skull. .
The abortionist inserts the instrument into the uterus, seizes a leg or other.
part of the body and, with a twisting motion, tears it from the babies body. .
The spine must be snapped and the skull crushed in order to remove them.
from the womb.
Saline Injection; This is used after 16 weeks. A long needle is.
inserted through the mothers abdomen and into the babies sac. Some.
fluid is removed and a strong salt solution is injected. The solution is.
swallowed and breathed and slowly poisons the baby. He/she kicks and.
jerks violently as he/she is literally being burned alive. .
Many women who have looked back into their past after having an.
abortion, regret it! Some say they weren't educated enough on what.
complications could occur and what was done to the baby. Now it is.
required that at any legal abortion clinic a woman must go through a.
twenty-four hour counseling period. Here the doctor or nurse educates.
them on what is going to happen during the procedure. They must also be.
