What is abortion Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy. Whether a women's pregnancy is terminated by choice or by accident, it is still considered abortion.

What is a fetus? A fetus is an unborn, developing mammal. The fetal stage comes after the embryo stage, after the eighth week of gestation or the 10th week of pregnancy, and lasts until birth. A normally developing fetus will have begun to form major identifying features, such as its nose and mouth, at the end of the eighth week. Its organs will also have begun to develop and will continue to do so until it is born.

Continue As an embryo develops into a fetus in a pregnant woman, it grows arms and legs and begins to develop fingers and toes. It also begins to grow ears and eyelids. The embryo also begins to form lungs in the eighth week of pregnancy, and its brain continues developing. At this stage in the pregnancy, the embryo is still very small, at less than 0.75 of an inch long.

MY INTERVIEW One of the key parts of helping a mom or dad recover from an abortion is to help them work through the anger stage of the grieving process. That is once the person can get to the point of being willing to accept the child as a person to be grieved for instead of a bad memory that they have tried very hard to forget. The woman especially can be very angry at herself, the abortion clinic, the father, anyone involved in her decision or even God. One chapter is dedicated to anger only in the post abortion Bible study we use. It is the only chapter that we offer to go over for two weeks instead of the regular one week interval per chapter.

5 types of an abortion! 1) SUCTION ABORTION: USED BEFORE 10 WEEKS A tube is inserted into the uterus and connected to a strong suction machine. The vacuum is so powerful the baby is ripped to pieces and sucked into a jar -- arms, legs, torso, and head. Done at abortion clinics. 2) D & C ABORTIONS: The D&C abortion is done before 12 weeks. A hook shaped knife is inserted into the uterus and cuts the baby into small pieces. His head is crushed with the forceps to allow removal through the narrow passage. The womb is then scraped out completely. Bleeding is sometimes profuse. Done at abortion clinics. 3) PROSTAGLANDIN ABORTIONS: This hormone drug, injected into the amniotic sac, produces labor and premature birth. The baby in most cases is born alive with a heart beat and is then put aside to die.

4) SALINE ABORTION: A strong poison solution of salt is injected, through the belly, into the amniotic sac. The helpless baby is forced to swallow this deadly poison. He suffers severely, he kicks and jerks violently, he is being burned alive, his skin peels off. Twenty-four to 48 hours later the mother delivers a dead baby. 5) HYSTEROTOMY ABORTIONS: As in a Cesarean Section, the abdomen is cut open and the baby lifted out while he moves, squirms, fights to breathe, and sometimes cries. While his heart is beating he is left to die

Manual Vaccum Aspiration What is MVA? MVA is used to abort a child from 3 weeks to 12 weeks of age. This handheld syringe works by creating its own vacuum/suction. MVAs are used and reused millions of times a year around the world. The major problem with the MVA is that it has a very weak vacuum. This means that the child is ripped apart slowly.

Cannula This is simply a hollow plastic tube that is attached to a suction machine by a flexible hose. In early-term abortions it is used to kill and dismember the baby, and then suck it out of the mother's uterus. In later abortions where other techniques are used to kill and dismember the baby, the cannula/suction machine is used to vacuum out the uterus and make certain that no parts of the baby are left behind.

Curette This is a metal rod with a handle on one end and a sharp loop on the other. It is used to scrape along the wall of the mother's uterus and dislodge her child.

Forceps This is a metal instrument that resembles a pair of scissors but functions like a pair of pliers. They come in several different styles but regardless of design they are used to grasp, pull apart, and/or remove the baby. Forceps are especially useful in collapsing the skull and making it easier to pull the skull through the mother's cervix.

Perforators There were hundreds of designs. They were used to stab into the baby's head, tearing it into pieces.

Abortion is one of the most common medical procedures performed in the United States each year. More than 40% of all women will end a pregnancy by abortion at some time in their reproductive lives.pregnancy While women of every social class seek terminations, the typical woman who ends her pregnancy is either young, white, unmarried, poor, or over the age of 40.

Quotes! "Then people brought little children to him, for him to lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples scolded them, but Jesus said, 'Let the little children alone, and do not stop them from coming to me; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of Heaven belongs.' Then he laid his hands on them and went on his way." The Bible, Matthew 21:13-15 "You created every part of me; you put me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because you are to be feared; all you do is strange and wonderful. I know it with all my heart. When my bones were being formed, carefully put together in my mother's womb, when I was growing there in secret, you knew that I was there — you saw me before I was born. The days allotted to me had all been recorded in you book, before any of them ever began." The Bible: Psalm 139: 13-16
