Must read if you are Pro-Life and an Obama supporter.

“But even as we are teaching those lessons [i.e., showing reverence to sexuality] we must never be willing to consign a teenage girl to a lifetime of struggle because of a lack of access to birth control; or a lifetime of illness because she doesn’t understand how to protect herself. That’s just common sense.”

--Barack Obama speaking before Planned Parenthood

What Happens During an In-Clinic Abortion?

It’s common for women to be nervous about having an abortion — or any other medical procedure. But most of us feel better if we know what to expect. Your health care provider will talk with you and answer your questions. But here’s a general idea of how it works and what to expect.

Before the abortion procedure, you will need to

* discuss your options

* talk about your medical history

* have laboratory tests

* have a physical exam — which may include an ultrasound

* read and sign papers

ASPIRATION ABORTION — THE MOST COMMON KIND OF IN-CLINIC ABORTION

During an aspiration abortion

* Your health care provider will examine your uterus.

* You will get medicine for pain. You may be offered sedation — a medicine that allows you to be awake but deeply relaxed.

* A speculum will be inserted into your vagina.

* Your health care provider may inject a numbing medication into or near your cervix.

* The opening of your cervix may be stretched with dilators — a series of increasingly thick rods. Or you may have absorbent dilators inserted a day or a few hours before the procedure. They will absorb fluid and get bigger. This slowly stretches open your cervix. Medication may also be used with or without the dilators to help open your cervix.

* You will be given antibiotics to prevent infection.

* A tube is inserted through the cervix into the uterus.

* Either a hand-held suction device or a suction machine gently empties your uterus.

* Sometimes, an instrument called a curette is used to remove any remaining tissue that lines the uterus. It may also be used to check that the uterus is empty. When a curette is used, people often call the abortion a D&C — dilation and curettage.

An aspiration procedure takes about 5 to 10 minutes. But more time may be needed to prepare your cervix. Time is also needed for talking with your provider about the procedure, a physical exam, reading and signing forms, and a recovery period of about one hour.

My remark:

The living baby is sucked out of the uterus and is terminated. If you are pro-life please do not vote for anyone who supports this procedure.
