Types of Abortions

Karman Method- Used very early in the pregnancy. Suction is generated by a vacuum pump that will suck everything out of the uterus. No dilation of the cervix is needed.

Suction Curettage

Used during the first trimester. The abortionist dilates the cervix, inserts a tube which creates a vacuum that tears the body of the fetus.

Dilation and Curettage

Cervix is dilated and a loop-shape knife is inserted to cut up the fetus and scrape the uterine lining.

Dilation and Evacuation

Done in the second trimester, 14-26 weeks. Due to larger fetal body parts the cervix is dilated more and the fetus is dismembered. The fetal skull is crushed and the spine snapped for easy removal. Sometimes the fetus is killed first by injecting a strong saline solution into the amniotic fluid, or by cutting the umbilical cord 24 hours before the procedure.

Saline, Prostaglandin and Urea Instillation

The abortionist inject strong chemicals into the amniotic fluid causing burning and

poisoning as the fetus ingests the fluid. Then a hormone is injected to cause

uterine contractions and expel the fetus.

GRAPHIC

Hysterectomy Done during the second and third trimester. Like a Cesarean section. The abortionist surgically opens the uterus and removes the fetus and placenta. The fetus is left to die.

Partial Birth AbortionPerformed anytime prior to birth
