Protect The Innocent

 There are differnt types of abortion procedures used to "terminate" a pregnancy, thpically the mothod that is chosen is based off how far along the mother is into her pregnancy. Within the forst 9 weeks of pregnancy the term "Medical Abortion Procedure" is used What is this? It is an abortion the is performed by the taking of medication, both by mouth or vaginal insertion to irradicate the baby. Although this method seem to be humane It is still the termination of a life that has yet to begin.

The most commonly used method is Suction Aspration, The abortionist begins by dilating the mom's cervix until it is large enough to allow a cannula to be inserted into her uterus. The cannula is a hollow plastic tube that is connected to a vacuum-type pump by a flexible hose. The abortionist runs the tip of the cannula along the surface of the uterus causing the baby to be dislodged and sucked into the tube - either whole or in pieces. . Any remaining parts are scraped out of the uterus with a surgical instrument called a curette. Following that, another pass is made through the mom's uterus with the suction machine to help insure that none of the baby's body parts have been left behind. Afterwards they examin the fluids. placenta and body parts to ensure that nothing has been left. This procedure is also referred to as suction curretage, and Dilation and curretage (D&C)

During the 2nd trimester the commonly used method is called Dilation & Evacuation (D & E) This method the baby is dismembered using foreceps and then extracted from the uterus, through the the vagina, as they they rip the baby apart. I have been given permission by priests for life www.priestsforlife.org/welcome/index.htm to use information from thier website. Here is the following from Dr. Tony Levatino, who once performed this procedure who gave his discription to P.F.L

Dr. Tony Levatino, M.D.

Imagine for a moment that you are a "pro-choice" obstetrician-gynecologist as I once was. Your patient today is seventeen years old and she is twenty weeks pregnant. At twenty weeks, her uterus is up to her umbilicus and she has been feeling her baby kick for the last two weeks. If you could see her baby, she would be as long as your hand from the top of her head to the bottom of her rump not counting the legs. Your patient is now asleep on an operating room table with her legs in stirrups. Upon entering the room after scrubbing, you dry your hands with a sterile towel and are gowned and gloved by the scrub nurse.

The first task is remove the laminaria that had earlier been placed in the cervix to dilate it sufficiently to allow the procedure you are about to perform. With that accomplished, direct your attention to the surgical instruments arranged on a small table to your right. The first instrument you reach for is a 14-French suction catheter. It is clear plastic and about nine inches long. It has a bore through the center approximately ¾ of an inch in diameter. Picture yourself introducing the catheter through the cervix and instructing the circulating nurse to turn on the suction machine which is connected through clear plastic tubing to the catheter. What you will see is a pale yellow fluid the looks a lot like urine coming through the catheter into a glass bottle on the suction machine. This amniotic fluid surrounded the baby to protect her.

With suction complete, look for your Sopher clamp. This instrument is about thirteen inches long and made of stainless steel. At one end are located jaws about 2 ½ inches long and about ¾ on an inch wide with rows of sharp ridges or teeth. This instrument is for grasping and crushing tissue. When it gets hold of something, it does not let go.

A second trimester D&E abortion is a blind procedure. The baby can be in any orientation or position inside the uterus. Picture yourself reaching in with the Sopher clamp and grasping anything you can. At twenty weeks gestation, the uterus is thin and soft so be careful not to perforate or puncture the walls. Once you have grasped something inside, squeeze on the clamp to set the jaws and pull hard – really hard. You feel something let go and out pops a fully formed leg about 4 to 5 inches long. Reach in again and grasp whatever you can. Set the jaw and pull really hard once again and out pops an arm about the same length. Reach in again and again with that clamp and tear out the spine, intestines, heart and lungs.

The toughest part of a D&E abortion is extracting the baby’s head. The head of a baby that age is about the size of a plum and is now free floating inside the uterine cavity. You can be pretty sure you have hold of it if the Sopher clamp is spread about as far as your fingers will allow. You will know you have it right when you crush down on the clamp and see a pure white gelatinous material issue from the cervix. That was the baby’s brains. You can then extract the skull pieces. If you have a really bad day like I often did, a little face may come out and stare back at you.

Congratulations! You have just successfully performed a Suction D&E abortion. You just affirmed her right to choose. You just made $600 cash in fifteen minutes.

 Induction Abortion: This is when Salt water, potassium chloride and eurea or a differnt combination of medication is injected, then labor is induced. depending on the doctor there are a variety of ways that birth occures, 1 method is to put the mother in a room and have her give birth into a toilet style apparatis, some doctors will deliver as a normal birth on the table, and some doctors prefere to remove the baby through dismemberment. this is all according to what the abortiionis prefers, this procedure is also where there are some babies who are Born alive from a blotched procedure. Since the Partial birth abortion ban was uphed by the supreme court in 2007, this method is used in late term abortions.  

Partial Birth Abotion: Also known as Dilation and Extraction In 2003 the Law was put into act prohibiting the practice of partial birth abortions, later in 2007 the U.S Supreme Court uphelp the ban on Partial Birth Abortions. The statute includes two findings of Congress:
