Three steps First, either a dose of mifepristone in tablet form or an injection of methotrexate is given.
Mifepristone blocks the hormone progesterone. Without progesterone, the lining of the uterus breaks down, ends pregnancy in the uterus, and causes vaginal bleeding. Methotrexate stops pregnancy in the uterus. It also stops those that develop in a fallopian tube ectopic pregnancies.
Second, another medication called misoprostol is taken in tablet form. This causes the uterus to contract and empty with vaginal bleeding. Third, the woman must return to the clinician for followup to make sure the abortion is complete. Available first 63 days of pregnancy (9 weeks)
Most women who use mifepristone have the abortion within four hours of taking misoprostol. About 10 percent of women who use mifepristone have the abortion before they take misoprostol as early as a day after taking mifepristone. For others, bleeding begins within 24 hours of taking misoprostol. The process usually takes about a week. About 50 percent of women who use methotrexate have the abortion the same day they take misoprostol as early as five days after taking the methotrexate. It happens within a week for another 3540 percent. The whole process can take up to 14 days. In some cases, bleeding may occur for up to four weeks
Can cause serious birth defects if pregnancy continues Bleeding as if a heavy period Strong cramps Temporary abdominal pain Feel uncomfortably warm
Diarrhea
needle is inserted through the mothers abdomen and 50-250 ml (as much as a cup) of amniotic fluid is replaced with a solution of concentrated salt. The baby breathes and swallows the solution, and usually dies 1 to 2 hours later from salt poisoning, dehydration, hemorrhages of the brain and other organs, and convulsions. The babys skin is often stripped or burned off by the salt solution. The mother goes into labor about 33 to 35 hours delivers a dead baby Used after 16 weeks
saline may initiate a condition in the mother called "consumption coagulopathy" (uncontrolled blood clotting throughout the body) with severe hemorrhaging as well as other serious side effects on the central nervous system Seizures, coma, or death may also result from saline inadvertently injected into the womans vascular system
This form of abortion takes place in the fifth and sixth months of pregnancy, or approximately 20-26 weeks With the help of an ultrasound, the abortion doctor grabs the babys legs with forceps and repositions the child in the birth canal in the breech position, legs first
Partial-Birth Abortion
The abortionist delivers
the entire child, except for the head, which he purposely leaves in the canal so the medical definition of birth does not occur
Partial-Birth Abortion
With a scissors, the
abortion doctor punctures the base of the living babys skull and spreads the scissor blades apart to widen the hole
Partial-Birth Abortion
A catheter is inserted into
the resulting hole, and the contents of the childs skull is sucked out, causing him or her a brutal, painful death The collapsed head is then removed from the birth canal
The Tragedy
When the child is partially delivered, he or she is often
kicking and moving his or her arms, very obviously a person and very obviously alive Like most abortion procedures, partial-birth is only performed on a child who has serious mental or physical disabilities about 20% of the time; in at least 80% of cases, the mother simply chooses abortion because the child is unwanted By the time the baby is killed, he or she is only inches from a medical definition of live birth, and nearly all victims of partial-birth abortion are viable at the time of the procedureadoption would be a perfectly plausible solution if the mother couldnt care for the child
This procedure is NEVER necessary to protect the mothers health; in fact, it is likely to be painful and is potentially damaging to her fertility.
Labor is induced by artificially dilating the cervix over a period of three days, which could result in the condition known as Incompetent Cervix and interfere with the womans ability to have children in the future The child is partially-delivered in the breech position, a position undesirable for safe live birthsmaneuvering the baby into this position can cause uterine rupture Surgical instruments are inserted into the birth canal, increasing risks of infection or uterine puncture Regardless of pro-choice claims to the contrary, partial-birth abortion is definitely not the safest method for the mother
