BEHIND A CLOSED DOOR
The Silent Scream in the Abortion Industry
Have we ever really thought about what really happens during an abortion? Briefly, the following are a bare outline of the real facts:

Behind a Closed Door of the Abortion Industry
What is an Abortion — A harmless procedure? Think again!
Abortion is the deliberate and direct killing, by whatever means it is carried out, of a human being in the initial phase of his or her existence, at any time from conception to birth.
Most abortions are performed between the sixth and twelfth week of pregnancy, where conception occurs at week two and birth occurs at week forty. Abortions are also performed routinely up to sixteen weeks and then less often in the later months of pregnancy.
An abortion may be performed either surgically or medically, via several different techniques. Surgically implies the use of surgical instruments to remove the unborn child or instillations to kill the unborn baby while still in the uterus. Medically implies the administration of drugs to the pregnant woman to end the pregnancy. In both of these cases it is the death and removal of the unborn baby, from the womb that causes the pregnancy to end. Abortion, like any surgical procedure, carries a number of health risks that are increasingly more serious with the advancement of the pregnancy.
The unborn child is very alive prior to the abortion procedure, and there is strong evidence that the unborn child can feel pain as early as twelve weeks. The abortion procedure is known to be agonisingly painful for the unborn child.
The Silent Scream
Have we ever really thought about what really happens during an abortion? Briefly, the following are a bare outline of the real facts:
Dr Bernard Nathanson describes what happens. He knows what happens — he was once an abortionist!
Suction Aspiration
The abortionist inserts a hollow plastic suction tube into the dilated cervix. A high-powered suction machine empties the uterus. The baby’s body is torn as he or she is being pulled through the hose.
Dilation and Evacuation
Used after 12 weeks. Once the cervix is dilated considerably further than in first trimester abortions, the abortionist inserts a narrow forceps that resembles a pliers. This instrument is needed because the baby’s bones are calcified, as in the skull. The abortionist inserts the instrument into the uterus, seizes a leg or other part of the body and, with a twisting motion, tears it from the baby’s body. The spine is snapped and the skull crushed. Body parts are then reassembled and counted to make certain that the entire baby has been removed and that no parts remain in the womb.
Partial-birth abortion
Abortionists also kill babies while they are being born. This is called Partial Birth Abortion. After three days of preparations, the abortionist places an ultrasound transducer on the mother’s abdomen and locates the child’s legs and feet. The abortionist then uses a large forceps to grasp one of the baby’s legs. He pulls firmly, forcing the child into a feet-down position.
Using his hands instead of forceps, the abortionist delivers the baby’s body in a manner similar to a breech birth. The baby’s head remains inside the birth canal.
The last step involves using surgical scissors to pierce the child’s head at the base of the skull. The abortionist forces the scissors open to enlarge the skull opening. He/she then inserts a suction catheter into the brain and vacuums out the child’s brain tissue with a machine 28 times more powerful than a household vacuum.
RU-486 — Mifeprex
Mifepristone blocks the action of the hormone progesterone, which is needed to maintain the lining of the uterus providing oxygen and nutrients for the embryo. Without it, the baby dies. Mifepristone is used in conjunction with the drug Cytotec that is taken two days after Mifepristone, causing uterine bleeding (sometimes profuse), strong contractions, and expulsion of the baby.
The pregnant woman first visits the abortionist to obtain 3 Mifepristone pills and returns two days later to receive Misoprostol, and a third time to verify that the abortion is complete. The failure rate of this method is about 8% if the pills are taken within seven weeks and up to 25% at eight to nine weeks. If the baby survives the abortion, there is an extremely high risk that he or she will suffer mental and/or physical birth defects from the Misoprostol.
A nation that legalises abortion does not have respect for the most basic right of a human being – the right to live.
