Saline Abortions
(Saline Amniocentesis)
A 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
Complications for the Mother
Hypertonic 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
Partial-Birth Abortion (D&X)
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 procedure
adoption would be a perfectly plausible solution
if the mother couldnt care for the child
Despite What They Say
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.
