Nov. 2, 1972 Aborted - April 2, 1973 Abortion Is such a controversial subject these days but do we really understand what It entails. The methods of aborting a baby are as bizarre as the outcome it- self. The suction method of abortion consists of a tube, with a powerful suction ap- paratus attached to It, being introduced Into the uterus through the vaginal tract. The little baby Is ripped apart and the placenta is scraped and sucked off the wall. This is a common method used In the first weeks of pregnancy when it has been proveethat the baby has definite brain functions. We are not considered to be dead until our brain ceases to function; should It not follow*that there is life when the brain is functioning. The second method is known las a D & C or dilation and curettage abortion. In this method the opening of the womb is dilated and stretched open. Then, with a sharp cutting Instrument called the curette, the baby is cut apart. The placenta is cut off the wall of the womb and removed. One of the jobs 01 the operating room nurses Is to reassemble the parts of the body of thtbaby to be sure that all has been removed so the mother will not hemorrhage or 'become infected. Above 16 weeks of a pregnancy the most common method is the saline or salt poisoning abortion. In this method the woman Is laid on her back and a long needle Is Inserted through her abdominal wall into the fluid sac around the baby. Some fluid Is withdrawn and replaced with an injection of the salt solution. Through sophisticated tests it has been proven that a baby at 11 weeks swallows, bregihos, has total body function and recoils In pain at a slight pin prick. Now 5 weeks later he breathes In this poisonous salt solution,,swallows it and struggles. TM mother can sometimes feel this movement. It takes at least an hour to kill the baby who sometimes suffers terminal convulsions before lying still. 11 the woman Is WALkATHON ROUTE 1. among the 2/3 who are fortunate she will go into labor about a day later and deliver vaginally what proabortion people call "the product of pregnancy". Occasionally the babies are born still alive. Babies aborted by this method have a "candy apple" appearance. Theeffect of the salt solution burns and strips away the entire outer layer of the baby's skin leaving exposed a raw red layer. Thls must be intensely painful to the baby who at 11 weeks was recoiling from a pin prick. The fourth method is known as a Caesarean section abortion. An incision Is made through the abdominal wall through the utorinewall and the baby is delivered. In a true Caesarean section, the baby would be handed rapidly to the assisting physician or nurse who would quickly suck out the phlegm from his nose and mouth and get him breathing. Then the baby would be taken to the newborn nursery where everything would be done to save its life. Now In this form of abor- tion the live baby is cut fres, dropped into a bucket and left to die. In New York alone In 1971 4,000 babies were born alive and then left or encouraged to die after being removed forcibly from the womb. There have been medical cases where a baby was removed from the womb In or- der to perform heart surgery on him. The surgery was done and the baby replaced into the womb tovOomplete his term of development. Was the baby alive out of the ,womb and not alive after he was r.eplaced? Bizarre is too mild a word to be used for what Is Ming allowed to happen today. What is next- The killing of our aged or mentally deficient because they are a bur- den - if abortion is allowed why not that too. If we were passing a woman and her young child and she suddenly began to beat him and cause him serious harm we would certainly do our best to assist that helpless chilij. Then let us do all In our power to stop the horrible killing of small lives who have as much right to the world as we do.
