Abortion is a very controversial subject. An abortion is the termination of a pregnancy by the removal or expulsion from the uterus of a fetus/embryo, resulting in or caused by its death.

This is the most common method of abortion during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. Anesthesia is given to the mother and her cervix is quickly dilated. A suction curette (hollow tube with a knife-edged tip) is inserted into the womb. This instrument is then connected to a vacuum machine by a transparent tube. The vacuum suction, 29 times more powerful than a household vacuum cleaner, tears the fetus and placenta into small pieces which are sucked through the tube into a bottle and discarded. This method is similar to the suction method with the added insertion of a hook shaped knife (curette) which cuts the baby into pieces. The pieces are scraped out through the cervix and discarded. Then there is those that kill the preborn child by administration of drugs and then induce labor and the delivery of a dead baby. Used after 16 weeks (four months) when enough fluid has accumulated. A long needle injects a strong salt solution through the...
