What exactly is it? How do they do it?
And do you guys believe in it or not?
I'm not pregnant and I will never get an abortion, I'm just curious. I don't know much about it, I only know they kill the baby but I think people should only do it if they get raped.
I'm 14/f by the way. :)
I think that it should be allowed only up to the first 3 months of pregnancy or less. I think that it is a womans right to choice, and not the government, but I also think that a limit on how long you can wait should be enforced. Also if we taught sex education in our schools, and people had easier access to birth control and the emergency contraceptive pill, there would be very few abortions in the USA
I found this information off of teenwire.com
Abortion is the termination of pregnancy before birth.
Abortion is legal for about the first six months of pregnancy. After that, most states ban abortions, except in limited circumstances, like saving the woman's life or preserving her health. However, most abortion providers perform abortions only in early pregnancy.
Abortion is a very safe procedure. It's about twice as safe as having your tonsils removed, and is 10 times safer than giving birth if it is performed before the 18th week of pregnancy. Most abortions — 90 percent — are performed in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy
There are 3 different types of abortions:
Medication abortion is the use of medicine to end pregnancy. There are three steps. The first step, your clinician will give you a dose of methotrexate or mifepristone. The second step, you will take another medication called misoprostol. The third step, you will return to your clinician for a follow-up visit.
The others are vacuum aspiration and D&E [dilation and evacuation]
Vacuum aspiration empties the uterus with gentle suction of a manual syringe or with machine-operated suction.
Performed with a manual syringe, it is known as manual vacuum aspiration or MVA.
Performed with machine-operated suction and the use of a curette — a narrow metal loop used to remove the tissue that lines the uterus — it is sometimes called dilation and suction curettage or D&C.
D&E is a two-part procedure. The cervix is slowly opened. The procedure is completed by emptying the uterus using a combination of suction and medical instruments.
