Suction Aspiration

This type of abortion begins with the woman laying on her back on a surgical table and placing her feet in stirrups. A pain medicaton is administered to the cervix. Next, a cone shaped rod is inserted into the cervix so the cervical muscles stretch to allow the abortion instruments to pass into the uterus. Through this opening, a suction tube is placed inside the uterus. A doctor guides the suction device around the uterus, suctioning the small fetal parts out through a tube. During this procedure, the doctor must operate by touch alone, because there is no way for him to see inside the uterus.


 

RU 486--The Abortion Pill

The abortion pill is approved to be used up to the seventh week after a woman's last period. Abortion administered by RU 486 may require between one and three doctor visits.
