The child is protected during gestation by a membrane called the:
Amniotic sac
During gestation, the child is protected by an amniotic sac which is filled with:

Placenta
The placenta attaches to the developing child by means of three vessels which make up the:

What term refers to the death of a developing child by natural or artificial means and is commonly used to describe any action taken to kill a child before birth?
Abortion
What are the two methods of abortion that can be used in the first three months of a child’s development?
Suction method
Dilation and curettage (D & C)
What method of abortion is it when a tube is connected to a suction device and is inserted into the mothers womb, and the force created by the device tears the child’s body apart and draws the pieces into the tube and into a container for disposal and is used during the first three months of a child’s development?
Suction method
What method of abortion is it that involves a loop-shaped knife called a curette to scrape the the womb, severing the child’s attachment to the mother, with the baby’s body often being cut into small pieces,and the head may be crushed to fit through the opening womb and is used during the first three months of the child’s development?
Dilation and curettage
What method of abortion is it when a pair of forceps is inserted into the mother’s womb, where they are used to dismember the child and drag the parts out of the womb through the birth canal, and is used between 13 and 20 weeks of the child’s development?
Dilation and evacuation method (D & E)
What three methods of abortion are used after the 20th week of a child’s development?
Salt poisoning
Partial-birth abortion
Hysterotomy abortion
What kind of abortion is it when a long needle is used to inject a salt solution into the amniotic sac; this concentrated salt solution is swallowed and inhaled by the child,causing hemorrhaging, shock, and often painful burning of the skin and is used after the twentieth week of a child’s development?
Salt poisoning
What kind of abortion is it when the child is delivered alive through the birth canal just as in normal live birth, except that he s delivered feet first; when all the body except the head is outside the mother, the child is then killed by puncturing the base of the skull and using a suction device to remove his brain, collapsing the skull so that the head can fit more conveniently through the opening of the birth canal and is used after the twentieth week of a child’s development?
Partial-birth abortion
What kind of abortion is it when a child is surgically removed from the womb but is laid aside to die from neglect and is used after the twentieth week of a child’s development?
Hysterotomy abortion
