How terrible is this abortion thing. A doctor started performing abortions in 1980 and in 5 years he performed 1200 abortions before he finally couldn’t take it anymore and decided to stop. He introduced 4 of the most common abortion procedures available through a series of films. After watching these procedures carefully, you can probably understand why he couldn’t stand doing them anymore! There are four types of abortion procedures, depending on the pregnancy cycle of the pregnant woman. 1. Medication abortion Also known as chemical abortion, it is usually used for fetuses up to nine weeks of pregnancy. The mother will take two different pills to allow the baby to die in the womb and be expelled. The mother first takes the “RU-486” pill, which interrupts the mother’s production of the hormone “progesterone,” which has a stabilizing effect on the uterine lining, and then the uterus ruptures, cutting off blood and nutrients to the baby, causing it to die. A day or two later, the mother takes another pill called misoprostol, which causes the uterus to contract and the blood to flow, expelling the baby from the womb. During this time, the mother may expel her baby at any time, either in bed or on the toilet, where they will see the shape of the embryo and notice that it is only a few centimeters in size and, if they look closely enough, they may see its fingers and toes. After the fetus is expelled, it is not over yet. Because of the medication, pregnant women will face serious side effects, usually including abdominal pain, headache, vomiting, etc., accompanied by heavy bleeding, which lasts for 9-16 days on average, and 1% of women even need to be hospitalized again for surgery to stop the bleeding. Uterine Suction Usually known as D&C, it is the most common abortion procedure performed early in pregnancy and is commonly performed on fetuses between 5-13 weeks old. At this stage, the baby usually already has a heartbeat, fingers, toes, arms and legs, but the bones are not yet sound. First, the doctor will use a vaginal speculum to dilate the vagina. Next, the doctor will use a dilator to open the cervix. This is because the closed cervix is there to protect the baby until the birth. Next, a “suction catheter” is placed, which has 10 to 20 times the suction power of a typical household vacuum cleaner. Under the strong force of attraction, the baby’s fragile bones are “split” into chunks and sucked out of the body by the catheter. Usually, the mother’s uterus is empty after aspiration, but to avoid infection from the baby’s residue in the uterus, the doctor will scrape the uterus with a spoon to remove the remaining body parts and placenta. Doctors also perform this procedure on women whose fetuses have not been expelled by a medication abortion. Uterine suction can also expose the mother to health risks, including the risk of infection caused by the doctor’s failure to clear the abortion, significant blood loss, or injury to the intestines, bladder, blood vessels, and of course, a major burden on the cervix. 3.Dilation and evacuation abortion The most appalling abortion, “Dilation and evacuation abortion”, also known as D&E surgery, is applied to the fetus in the middle of pregnancy, about 13 to 24 weeks. At this stage, the baby’s body (excluding leg length) may be close to 20 kilograms in size (the length of an adult man’s hand), and the doctor needs to dilate the cervix even more to remove the baby, a procedure that takes 24 to 48 hours. Since the baby is fully formed and has strong bones, it cannot be suctioned out. Doctors can only drain the amniotic fluid from the mother’s uterus with a suction catheter. The most difficult part is the skull, as the skull is too large for this period, so the doctor will use abortion forceps to first crush the baby’s skull and then remove it from the uterus piece by piece. Finally, the doctor will use the same scraping spoon to scrape the residue from the uterine wall, and at the same time will count the “body pieces” that are clamped out in front of him to make sure that there are two legs, two hands, and the skull can be put together into a head, and then, the operation is completed. D&E surgery can be extremely damaging to women, including lacerations, excessive bleeding, hemorrhaging, cervical damage, uterine perforation, and scar tissue. One in 25 women who undergo this procedure will become infected and it may lead to future pregnancy complications and increase the risk of the mother not being able to carry a full-term pregnancy in the future. The last type of abortion is late in pregnancy, commonly known as “induced labor”, which as the name implies, is similar to the process of giving birth to a child. This procedure is performed during the 25th week of pregnancy or more and usually takes three or four days to complete. First, a drug is injected into the baby’s head to stop the baby’s heart from beating. During this stage, the baby feels pain and then gradually dies in agony. After the drug kills the baby, the cervix also needs to be dilated to prepare for the delivery of the dead baby. The mother has to carry the dead baby for about two to four days until the cervix is dilated enough. When the cervix is dilated enough, the mother returns to the clinic to deliver the dead baby, or elsewhere, such as while going to the bathroom, where she will see the baby’s body. And if the baby doesn’t come out completely, the doctor will use a D&E procedure in to scoop out the rest of the body parts. This procedure can just as easily cause maternal hemorrhaging, lacerations, perforation of the uterus, and in the worst cases, death or permanent infertility due to damage to the uterus and cervix. A group of science, no gory surgical images, but only with cartoons and text descriptions. Just look at the scalp. The purpose of this article is not to discuss the ethics of abortion and the legal bottom line, but to make fellow men aware of how serious abortion is from a woman’s perspective.
