1. Suction
Aspiration:
This is the procedure most often used in the first
trimester of pregnancy (the first three months). The
abortionist inserts a suction tube (similar to a vacuum
hose with an extremely sharp end) into the mother's womb.
The suction and cutting edge dismember the baby while the
hose sucks the body parts into a collection bottle.
2. Dilation and
Curettage (D & C):
In this procedure, the abortionist uses a loop shaped
knife to cut the baby into pieces and scrape the uterine
wall. The baby's body parts are then removed and checked
to make sure that no pieces were left in the mother's
womb.
3. Dilation and
Evacuation (D & E):
This form of abortion is used to kill babies in the
second trimester (24+ weeks). The abortionist uses a
forceps to grab parts of the baby (arms and legs) and then
tears the baby apart. The baby's head must be crushed in
order to remove it because the skull bone has hardened by
this stage in the baby's growth.
4. Dilation and
Extraction (also known as D & X or Partial-Birth
Abortion):
Used to kill babies well into the third trimester
(as late as 32 weeks old), the abortionist reaches into
the mother's womb, grabs the baby's feet with a forceps
and pulls the baby out of the mother, except for the head.
The abortionist then jams a pair of scissors into the back
of the baby's head and spreads the scissors apart to make
a hole in the baby's skull. The abortionist removes the
scissors and sticks a suction tube into the skull to suck
the baby's brain out. The forceps are then used to crush
the baby's head and the abortionist pulls the baby's body
out the rest of the way.
5. Salt
Poisoning:
This technique is used in the second and third
trimester. The abortionist sticks a long needle into the
mother's womb. The needle contains salt which is then
injected into the amniotic fluid surrounding the baby. The
baby breathes in, swallows the salt and dies from salt
poisoning, dehydration, brain hemorrhage and convulsions.
Taking nearly an hour to die, the baby's skin is
completely burned, turns red and deteriorates. The baby is
in pain the entire time. The mother goes into labor 24 -
48 hours later and delivers a dead baby.
6. Prostaglandins:
Used during the second and third trimester,
prostaglandin abortions involve the injection of naturally
produced hormones into the amniotic sac, causing violent
premature labor. During these convulsions the baby is
often crushed to death or is born too early to have any
chance of surviving.
7. Hysterotomy: Performed
in the third trimester, this is basically an abortive
Cesarean section (C-section). The abortionist makes in an
incision in the mother's abdomen and removes the baby. The
baby is then either placed to the side to die or is killed
by the abortionist or nurse.
8. Chemical
abortion:
a. RU-486. RU-486 blocks the
hormone that helps develop the lining of the uterus during
pregnancy (progesterone). This lining is the source
of nutrition and protection for the developing baby.
The tiny boy or girl is starved to death and then a
second drug, misoprostol, causes contractions so that the
dead baby is expelled from the womb.
b. Methotrexate. Highly toxic, this
chemical directly attacks and breaks down the baby's
fast-growing cells. It also attacks the life-support
systems the baby needs to survive. When the systems
fail, the baby dies. Misoprostol is then used to
cause contractions and push the dead baby out of the womb.
c. Abortifacient birth control (the Pill,
Depo-Provera, Norplant, the IUD, Emergency Contraception).
These abortion-causing chemicals and devices can act
to kill preborn children in the earliest days of life. It
is well known that abortifacient methods of birth control
may act to inhibit ovulation and prevent conception.
However, most women don't know they also act to alter the
lining of the womb so that the implantation of a newly
conceived child cannot occur. If the child cannot implant
in the lining of the womb to receive nourishment, he or
she dies.
