Answer 1

Ans) 1) False

Explaination:

- The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 66 percent of legal abortions occur within the first eight weeks of gestation, and 92 percent are performed within the first 13 weeks. Only 1.2 percent occur at or after 21 weeks (CDC, 2013).

2) True

Explaination:

- Up to 15 weeks' gestation, suction-aspiration or vacuum aspiration are the most common surgical methods of induced abortion. Manual vacuum aspiration (MVA) consists of removing the fetus or embryo, placenta, and membranes by suction using a manual syringe, while electric vacuum aspiration (EVA) uses an electric pump.

3) True

Explaination:

- Dilation and curettage with suction is a procedure in which contents from the inside of the uterus are evacuated. "Dilation" refers to the opening of the cervix. "Curettage" refers to the aspiration or removal of tissue within the uterus with an instrument called a curette.

4) False

Explaination:

- Sometimes they prescribe a general anesthetic, but this is rare. Because the procedure involves the use of pain relief medications, vacuum aspiration does not usually hurt. However, a woman may experience a dragging or pulling sensation during the process.

5) True

Explaination:

- The World Health Organization recommends D&C as a method of surgical abortion only when manual vacuum aspiration is unavailable. It poses less risk because the doctor has a view inside the uterus during surgery, unlike with blind D&C.

6) False

Explaination:

- A small number of very premature babies are surviving earlier outside the womb than doctors once thought possible, a new study has documented, raising questions about how aggressively they should be treated and posing implications for the debate about abortion.
