Third Trimester Induced Abortion
At this point the baby is almost fully developed and viable. Meaning, he or she can survive outside the womb if the woman were to go into labor. Because the baby is so large, the procedure takes 3 days.
Day 1: The abortionist uses a large needle to inject a drug called Digoxin. Digoxin is typically used to treat heart conditions but a high enough dosage of Digoxin will cause fatal cardiac arrest. The abortionist inserts the needle through the abdomen or the vagina in the baby, targeting either the head, torso, or heart.
When the needle pierces the baby, and the Digoxin takes effect, the life of the baby will end. The abortionist then inserts multiple sticks of laminaria into the cervix to open it.
While the woman waits for the laminaria to take effect, she carries her dead baby inside of her for 2 to 3 days.
Day 2: The doctor replaces the laminaria sticks and may do a second ultrasound to ensure the baby is dead. If the baby is alive, he administers another lethal dose of Digoxin. The woman then goes back to where she is staying while her cervix dilates.
If she goes into labor and is unable to make it to the clinic on time, she will deliver wherever she is staying and be advised to deliver into the bathroom toilet. The abortionist then comes to the residence to clean up.
If she can make it to the clinic, she will do so during her severest contractions and deliver her dead son or daughter.
If the baby can’t come out whole, the abortion becomes a D & E ( Dilation and Evacuation). The abortionist uses clamps and forceps to dismember the baby. Once the placenta and all the body parts have been removed, the abortion is completed.
