1ST TRIMESTER
16 WEEKS
employed during the 1st trimester
of pregnancy. A sharp looped knife or curette
(sharp curettage) is inserted into the uterus to
scrape its walls. Then, the lodging baby is cut
apart and its bodily parts are removed and
checked for completeness
DILATION AND CURRETAGE ABORTION

during the 1st half of second
trimester (13-20 weeks).
DILATION AND EVACUATION
Usually the
abortionist cuts off one or more of
the baby’s limbs and waits until he or
she bleeds to death
DILATION AND EVACUATION
also known as
“intra-amniotic injection”
SALINE ABORTION
2nd trimester and early 3rd trimester
SALINE ABORTION
The
said fluid is replaced with saline or
urea solution. The baby breathes in
and swallows this concentration and
dies painfully from salt poisoning,
dehydration, brain hemorrhage and
convulsions. While dying, the baby
suffers extreme pain brought about
by the salt solution as it burns off the
outer layer of his/her skin.
SALINE ABORTION
also called “partial-birth
abortion”
DILATION AND EXTRACT ABORTION
This method of abortion is usually intended for a pre-born baby
who has already attained the late 2nd and 3rd trimester of gestational age

legs and pull it out through the birth canal and delivers the entire body except
the head. Afterwards, puncturing the back of the baby’s head with a sharp
scissor. Finally, a suction tube is inserted to suck out the brain of the baby
causing the skull to collapse

performed during late 2nd and 3rd
trimester of gestation. A prostaglandin hormone containing about 8
milliliters is injected into the uterine muscle which contracts to expel the
baby in an artificially-induced and extremely –violent premature labor
that takes about 20 hours.
PROSTAGLANDIN ABORTION
Caesarian section done during the last
trimester of pregnancy when other types of abortion are dangerous to the
mother. The uterus is surgically opened and the baby is lifted out. The
baby is then either left to die or deliberately killed.

sixteen weeks. An amount of potassium chloride or some other fluid is
injected to the baby’s heart with the aid of ultrasound imagery, causing
the baby to have an immediate heart attack. After a period of days, the
dead baby is delivered
