Murder

             This book talks about in great detail of four kinds of abortion or five if you count
             miscarriage. It shows several pictures of what happens to the baby with each kind of
             abortion. The four kinds of abortion are Suction, Dilitation and Curreage, Saline Poisoning,
             and Hysterotomy. Abortion is the termination of pregnancy before birth, resulting in, or
             accompanied by, the death of the fetus. Some abortions occur naturally because a fetus

             25th week to birth. Abortions in the first trimester of pregnancy are easier and safer to
             perform, that is because the fetus is smaller. Abortions in the second and third trimesters
             are more complicated procedures, which present greater risks to a woman's health.
             In the United States, a pregnant woman's risk of death from a first-term abortion is
             less than 1 in 100,000. The risk increases by about 30 percent with each week of
             pregnancy after 12 weeks. Although it is so dangerous many women continue to have
