I have three little sisters and know that raising children is a hard job. Throughout this time I have leaned more toward the abortion but don't feel like I know enough about it. Thanks, Undecided Dear Undecided, Alice is pleased that you're looking for the information you need to make your decision because this decision has a time limit. If you do not reach one within a certain amount of time, it will be made for you. Clinically, abortion is a safe and simple procedure when carried out legally by licensed and specially trained doctors and some nurse practitioners with sterile and proper instruments.
Most surgical abortions take anywhere from five to fifteen minutes.
The most common technique, aspiration, involves inserting a small tube, that is attached to a source of gentle suction, which draws the pregnancy tissue out from the uterus through the cervix. This type of abortion is done during the first three months. Second trimester abortions usually involve an injection of medication to help trigger the abortion. As far as how you will handle an abortion emotionally, some women feel relief, sadness, anger, upset, guilt, nothing at all, or all of the above. You may or may not experience unexpected emotions afterwards.
