The most common procedure is the vacuum aspiration involving anaesthesia. The cervix is gently dilated, which may cause a sensation similar to menstrual cramping, a narrow tube is inserted through the vagina and cervix to the uterus so then pregnancy and contents of the uterine internal lining are vacuumed out. The risks involved with this are side effects including nausea, cramping, sweating and feeling faint. Rare side effects are heavy or prolong bleeding, blood clots, damage to the cervix and perforation of the uterus. Infections can occur due to remaining tissue or due to an STD or bacteria that has been introduced into the uterus, these can cause fever, pain, abdominal tenderness and potential scar tissue. Dilation and extraction is another surgical procedure. This involves a luminaria to be inserted vaginally to dilate the cervix two days before the procedure. This causes the water to break on the third day. The fetus is rotated and forceps are used to grasp and pull the legs, shoulders and arms through the birth canal. A small incision is made at the base of the skull to allow a suction catheter inside. The catheter removes the cerebral material until the skull collapses. The fetus is then completely removed. The side effects are the same as dilation and evacuation. However, there is an increased chance of emotional problems from the reality of more advanced fatal…
What is an abortion? According to the Merriam Webster dictionary it is “A medical procedure used to end a pregnancy and cause the death of the fetus” (Merriam Webster, 2016). Every year, approximately 1.2 million women have an abortion in the United States and nearly 42 million women have an abortion every year worldwide. There are two types of abortions an individual can do, either medical abortion or surgical abortion. Medical abortion relies on medicine and is primarily used on pregnancies up to nine weeks. In contrast, surgical abortion can be done for pregnancies from six weeks, all the way up to sixteen weeks. Surgical abortion greatly varies by states as some states of stricter abortion laws than others. For example, abortions in Texas can be terminated up to twenty weeks, while in Arkansas abortions can be terminated up to six weeks. In the United States 47% of unintended pregnancies leads to abortions, this number can lower if women were actively use birth control, however, there is a number of women who have no control and…

First before you consider an abortion you should know what it entails. An abortion is an intentional act that kills an unborn baby. Without any drugs or anesthesia the unborn child is dismembered, torn apart, and vacuumed out of the mother. In the case of a near-term or partial-birth abortion, the baby is turned around and pulled partially out with its head still inside the mother. The abortionist then plunges a sharp object into the back of its neck and vacuums out the brain. This is such an unpleasant thing to imagine, to think that it is legal to do such a thing to a poor unborn baby.…
Abortion is quite a controversial issue in today's government. Many of us refrain from even getting into a discussion over abortion, because it is such a sensitive topic. It is very unfortunate that so many women around the world have to make decisions involving abortion, period. “One in three women will have at least one abortion by the time she is 45, and these run the gamut of ages, races, backgrounds and beliefs.” (Welch) In one's eye abortion is simply immoral and unacceptable, while in another it is a typical procedure. Often, pro-abortionists are portrayed “...as merciful and anti-abortionists as close-minded” (Olasky). As an outsider I interpret each group as one extreme to the other, and the purpose of this paper is to inform myself and the reader of both, pro-life and pro-choice sides and perspectives of abortion in the U.S.…

Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy, usually done during the first 28 weeks of the pregnancy.

While there are several different methods to having an abortion, all of these methods are separated into three different groups—surgical abortion, medical abortion, and chemical abortion. Surgical abortion is a procedure that ends a pregnancy by removing the fetus and placenta from the mother's womb. Many of the…

Combined regimens include methotrexate or mifepristone, followed by a prostaglandin (either misoprostol or gemeprost: misoprostol is used in the U.S.; gemeprost is used in the UK and Sweden.) When used within 49 days gestation, approximately 92% of women undergoing medical abortion with a combined regimen completed it without surgical intervention.Misoprostol can be used alone, but has a lower efficacy rate than combined regimens. In cases of failure of medical abortion, vacuum or manual aspiration is used to complete the abortion…
