- The most common method applied in the second trimester abortion is D&E which means Dilation and Evacuation. This is a very horrific method. The cervix is dilated to allow for the forceps to pass through the birth canal. Then the forceps is used to separate the baby into pieces. Each piece is then pulled out with a vacuum.
- Another procedure used for second trimester abortion, the artificial labor induction, is quite painful for the mother. As it is long and she has to bear all the labor pains when in fact her body is not ready to face them.
- The last method and Best Method , A third common method of abortion during the second trimester is the D&X surgery. The cervix is dilated in this method as well and the position of the fetus is changed with the help of a forceps into a breech position. When the legs of the baby are facing down, it is pulled out leaving the head still inside the passage canal. An incision is made on the underside of the head of the fetus to drain out its brain; making it easier to pull out the whole baby.
