There are a couple different forms or methods of abortion Gale’s Cengage Company defines abortion in Opposing Viewpoints In Context

“An abortion is a medical or surgical procedure that deliberately ends pregnancy before an embryo or fetus is born” (Abortion) This is the technical definition of a general abortion, no matter what form it is There are two different ways to abort an unborn fetus The main and most common type of abortion is with a surgical procedure Surgical abortions typically happen within the first trimester of pregnancy The surgical form of abortion can also be referred to in more professional terms as a “vacuum aspiration” which in simpler terms, is sucking tissue from the uterus through a tube. This is considered the safest, simplest, and least invasive form of surgery by healthcare professionals. Planned Parenthood says that it is safest for the mother to perform the abortion and remove the fetus within the first trimester of pregnancy rather than birthing it as usual at the end of the pregnancy period.

Doing it this way is said to reduce health risks to the mother There is also the option of carrying out a medical abortion This form of abortion requires zero surgery and can be safely performed up through the ninth week of pregnancy Instead of surgery, women will take the “abortion pill” These pills contain the two drugs mifepristone and misoprostol The patient will take the first pill, mifepristone, which will block the main pregnancy hormone

The patient will then take the second pill, misoprostol, approximately two days later which will cause the embryo to eject itself from the uterus This form of abortion carries less of a chance of an sort of infection; however, there is a chance that it may not be as effective as a surgical procedure Health care providers want to stress that this form of abortion is NOT the same as an emergency contraceptive A medical abortion will ultimately terminate your pregnancy whereas an emergency contraceptive will help in preventing pregnancy
