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

Most pregnancies last an average of 39 to 40 weeks, about 9 months. This period of
time is broken up into three parts known as trimesters. The first trimester is the first 13
weeks, the second trimester is from the 14 to 24 week and the third trimester lasts from the
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
abortions. There are even some drug m...
