Everyone knows that Abortion is a very controversial subject in the United State. It discusses human interaction where ethics, emotions, and law come together. Everyone knows that babies die of natural causes, but others are killed before they get the chance to experience their first breath. Abortion is fast becoming a quick fix to a rather large responsibility, especially among teenage women. Having sex is a huge responsibility, and if you aren't ready to handle the consequences, then having sex is not for you, and abortion is not the answer if you do get pregnant.
There are three basic types of abortion, abortion from above, abortion from below, and drug induced (Abortion TV). The first type, abortion from above is generally called a hysterectomy, which is done late in the pregnancy (Abortion TV). Many babies are still alive when they are removed from the mother's womb, and abortionists have been known to plunge them into buckets of water or smother them with the placenta, while others cut the cord while the baby is still inside to deprive in of oxygen. (Abortions From Below).
There are several methods used for an abortion for below, the four most common I will describe. Menstrual extraction, which is done very early, most often before the pregnancy test even comes back positive (Abortion TV). This is just a suctioning of the fetus out of the mother's vagina.
The suction method is performed sometime in the first trimester. This baby is torn into pieces as the hose frequently jerks because the baby often becomes lodged. The, "scraps are sucked into a bottle" (Abortion From Below). The third method is the dilation and evacuation, which is when the abortionist use a tool like pliers to twist and pull parts of the body out as the bones have already been calcified and must be broken (Abortion TV).The final of the abortions from below is called the D & X, or partial birth. This is typically done in the advanced stages of pregnancy.
