The oxford dictionary defines abortion as "removal of a baby from the womb before it has developed enough to survive." It is the expulsion of a foetus before twenty-eight weeks of pregnancy.
There are five basic methods of inducing an abortion. The first is dilation and curettage where the opening of the womb is stretched and a sharp loop-shaped tool scrapes the sides of the uterus. The foetus can then be removed using forceps. The next method is suction-curettage, which is when a tube inserted into the uterus creates a strong suction, and the foetus is drawn out. Dilation and extraction is used after the twelfth week of pregnancy. Here, the foetus is physically cut into pieces and then removed by suction. The fourth method is using a saline injection which is usually only preformed after fourteen weeks of pregnancy. A long needle replaces some of the mother's amniotic fluid with a toxic salt solution.
