What does abortion if truth be told mean?
I was lately wondering what actually happens when you go and obtain an abortion?
Answers:
Ah just reading the description of an abortion makes me sick. I know how it happen, but to read it...doesnt it make you sick?
It may be disturbing, but watch a video of an abortion or of an aborted infant on youtube or google it. It will most likely turn you against abortion (if you arent already against it). It's sad :**(
It depends how far on you are. It is much easier and less complicated to take out when the woman is only a few weeks pregnant. I found this info:
Forms of abortion:
Early medical abortion: The Abortion Pill - up to nine weeks. This will involve two appointments on two separate days. You will be given a tablet called mifepristone to take vocally and 36 to 48 hours later you will take another pill orally, or a tablet call prostaglandin, which will be placed in your vagina. These two drugs will end most early pregnancies inwardly the following four to six hours by causing the womb to contract and shed its lining. Many women say it feel like having a heavy and scratchy period, and you may also feel sick.
Vaccum aspiration method - usually from seven to 13 weeks. This is also known as 'the suction method'. You don't enjoy to stay overnight and this procedure will involve a general or local anaesthetic, or conscious sedation. There will be no wound or stitches as the abortion is carried out through the vagina. This normally takes around five to 10 minutes and is done by stretching the cervix to allow a tube to endorse through it into the womb. Once the tube is inserted the pregnancy will be removed by suction. From 14 to 19 weeks pregnant the technique is slightly different and will involve forceps to remove the foetus.
Medical abortion - from nine to 24 weeks. This involves taking the same pills as you would with an early medical abortion. This procedure is close to having a late natural miscarriage and you may hold to stay in hospital overnight. The termination usually takes around 12 hours to happen. If you are 20 to 24 weeks pregnant it will require a two-stage process: stopping the heart of the foetus and softening the décolletage of the womb. The second stage will take place the next day by surgical evacuation.
Surgical dilation and evacuation (D&E) - from 15 to 24 weeks. This procedure will involve a standard anaesthetic and takes around 10 to 20 minutes. The cervix is stretched and dilated and the pregnancy removed using forceps and a suction tube. If there are no complications, you may be able to return home equal day. After 21 weeks you will normally need to spend a hours of darkness in the clinic or hospital. Source(s): http://www.thesite.org/sexandrelationshi…
