Doctors use various means and ways to conclude a pregnancy. Normally abortion is persuaded using a chemical or surgical practice. The abortion procedure which is chosen by the doctor or an individual is preferred directly correlated to the phase of pregnancy whether it is in early weeks or in the first stage that is term of 3 months, or second stage.
The abortion via chemical practice is merely by means of giving pregnancy termination drugs or medicine to the patient concerned. Most of the mother-to-be is more inclined towards this type abortion method rather than the surgical technique. Such drugs or chemicals which are prescribed to an individual are generally called as abortion pills. The RU-486, mifepristone normally are used to set a halt to the action of the body’s progesterone. As a consequence, the embryo splits from the uterus and bleeding takes place. Once the bleeding starts, its recommend by the physicians to take a dose of misoprostol which contains uterine contractions, thus ejecting the unborn foetus. In spite of effective and very safe technique this type of abortion procedure can be espoused only within the first two months of pregnancy. In some exceptional cases, the patient may be required to end the treatment with a surgical method.
During the first three months of the pregnancy with the help of surgical techniques termination of pregnancy can be done by three different methods of abortion .First method is after the cervix is expanded, the embryo is worn out off the ramparts of the uterus with the help of a sharp surgical instrument. This abortion practice is known as Dilation or Curettage. Second method of surgical abortion technique is Manual Vacuum Aspiration where after expanding the cervix, the doctor takes away the embryonic tissue using a syringe with the assistance of suction. Lastly the method is as alike to the second method and is known as Electric Vacuum Aspiration. In this the syringe is substituted with an electric pump.
During the second trimester that is duration from third month to sixth month of pregnancy there are again three choices offered for termination of pregnancy. First procedure of abortion is Dilation and Evacuation. In this procedure after expanded the cervix, the uterine walls are worn out with instruments. Whereas finally, the embryonic tissue is separated with the assistance of suction. The Second method is Hysterectomy or surgical slit of the uterus which is very much alike to caesarean operation, where the terminated foetus is separate. The last abortion procedure is known as Partial Birth Abortion which is still in todayâs society comes under some arguments. The cervix is expanded, and then a forceps is required to reverse the foetus into a breech situation. After which suction device is inserted into the foetus’ skull after a cut is made at its base. This device abandons the brain tissues which are present inside.
Although there is one more technique of abortion, which was very accepted till the time anaesthetics and surgery were imaginary, it is neither promoted by law nor accepted by the medical fraternity division. This is the herbal procedure of abortion and is normally measured as unsafe. So perhaps it would be wiser to excuse yourself from it altogether.

At what stage during pregnancy should we ban medically-unnecessary abortion procedures?
I think we should ban abortions that are elective after 14 weeks (except for reported cases of rape which should be extended until viability) like they do in most of Europe; America is too liberal when it comes to abortion rights.
I agree….14 weeks is reasonable.

I have known girls that use abortion like birth control. The only good thing was that it sterilized most of them from scarring after 3 or 4 of them.

No later than 8 weeks if they are going to do it. By the 14th week the baby is already developed and is breathing amniotic fluid.

There is very little need to ban it after 14 weeks. The very high majority of women who maintain their pregnancy that long already want to have the child. Can you find cases where women are waiting that long to have a voluntary abortion because they simply don’t want to be pregnant anymore? It’s going to be hard.
America isn’t liberal enough when it comes to abortion rights. We don’t allow federal funds for a perfectly legal procedure because some holy rollers are against it.

I think the line in the sand is fine where it is, at 24 weeks.
Why? Keep reading.
Researchers from the University of California, San Francisco in the Journal of the American Medical Association concluded in a meta-analysis of data from dozens of medical reports and studies that fetuses are unlikely to feel pain until the third trimester of pregnancy.[2][3] There is an emerging consensus among developmental neurobiologists that the establishment of thalamocortical connections (at about 26 weeks) is a critical event with regard to fetal perception of pain.

Most abortion do occur within the first 14 weeks. 88.2% of abortions were conducted at or prior to 12 weeks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion#By_gestational_age_and_method
Women were asked to choose among a list of reasons they had not obtained the abortions earlier in their pregnancies. The results were as follows:
71% Woman didn’t recognize she was pregnant or misjudged gestation
48% *Woman found it hard to make arrangements for abortion*
33% Woman was afraid to tell her partner or parents
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Late_term_abortion#Reasons_for_later_abortion
48% of women found it hard to make arrangements for her abortion and you want to make it even harder by putting more restrictions on it? The most recent survey found that 88% of all U.S. counties have no identifiable abortion provider. In non-metropolitan areas, the figure rises to 97%. As a result, many women must travel long distances to reach the nearest abortion provider.

How about people like you butt out and leave the abortion issue where it belongs in the hands of the individual women. No women waits any longer than she has too when it comes to obtaining an abortion. It is hard enough for some women to obtain abortions, why place more arbitrary restrictions on it?

EDIT - At least I have facts to back up where I stand on this issue,. What do you have besides the ‘feeling’ that Americans are too liberal on it?
There are no limits on abortion in Canada yet very few are preformed. Hmmm, wonder what they are doing right that we aren’t? Could it be comprehensive sex ed and all inclusive health care?
Bottom line - this is an issue between a women and her doc. Butt out. Why should you, a complete stranger, have any say?

Why? The MAJORITY of abortions occur in the first trimester. Abortions later are a small percentage.

I don’t think the government should be involved in telling a woman what she can and can not do with her own body, outside of protecting her rights as a citizen.
