A medical (or chemical) abortion is non-surgical and happens when a woman takes a pill with Mifepristone (RU-486) and Misoprostol (or Cytotec) to kill the baby.
A suction (or aspiration) D&C abortion is a procedure where a suction catheter is inserted into the mother’s uterus to extract the preborn baby. Then the lining of the uterus is scraped to remove any remaining body parts.
A dilation (dilatation) and evacuation abortion, D&E, is a surgical abortion procedure during which an abortionist first dilates the woman’s cervix and then uses instruments to dismember and extract the baby from the uterus.
A third trimester induction abortion is performed at 25 weeks when a baby is almost fully-developed and is considered viable, meaning he or she could survive outside the womb. The baby will be killed by injecting a lethal substance that causes cardiac arrest, and induces the mother’s labor to deliver her baby stillborn.
