In Europe and North America, abortion techniques advanced starting in the 17th
century. However, conservatism by most physicians with regards to sexual matters
prevented the wide expansion of safe abortion techniques. Other medical
practitioners in addition to some physicians advertised their services, and they
were not widely regulated until the 19th century, when the practice was banned in
both the United States and the United Kingdom. Church groups as well as
physicians were highly influential in anti-abortion movements. In the US, abortion
was more dangerous than childbirth until about 1930 when incremental
improvements in abortion procedures relative to childbirth made abortion safer.
The Soviet Union (1919), Iceland (1935) and Sweden (1938) were among the first
countries to legalize certain or all forms of abortion. In 1935 Nazi Germany, a law
was passed permitting abortions for those deemed "hereditarily ill", while women
considered of German stock were specifically prohibited from having abortions.
Beginning in the second half of the twentieth century, abortion was legalized in a
greater number of countries. A bill passed by the state legislature of New York
legalizing abortion was signed by Governor Nelson Rockefeller in April 1970.

Types Of Abortions
There are 2 kinds of induced abortions: surgical and chemical.
4. D & E (Dilation and Evacuation): within 13-24 weeks after last menstrual
period
The foetus literally doubles in size between the 11th and 12th weeks of pregnancy.
Soft cartilage hardens into bone at 16 weeks, making the foetus too large and
strong to pass through a suction tube. The D & E procedure begins by inserting
laminaria a day or two before the abortion, opening the cervix wide to
accommodate the larger foetal size. The abortionist then both tears and cuts the
foetus and uses the vacuum machine to extract its remains. Because the skull is too
large to be suctioned through the tube, it must be crushed by forceps for removal.
Pieces must be extracted very carefully because the jagged, sharp pieces of the
broken skull could easily cut the cervix.
8. D & X (Dilation and Extraction): from 20 weeks after last menstrual period to
full term. Also called “partial birth abortion.”
This procedure takes three days. During the first two days, the woman’s cervix is
dilated. She is given medication for cramping. On the third day, she receives
medication to induce labour. As the woman labours, the abortionist uses an
ultrasound to locate the baby’s legs. The abortionist then grasps a leg with forceps
and delivers the baby up to its head. Next, using a scissors, the abortionist creates
an opening in the base of the baby’s skull. A suction catheter is inserted into the
skull opening, and the baby’s brains are suctioned out. The skull collapses, and the
rest of the baby’s body is delivered through the birth canal.
