“As the suction tube is rotated within the womb, the membrane and fluid surrounding the fetus are quickly sucked away and the little being himself is soon torn apart. Finally the placenta, which is well connected to the lining of the uterus, is pulled away. One manual of instruction describes this phase of the abortion: “At any point the material is felt to be flowing into the tube, motion is stopped until the flow stops. Then the slow up and down gradual rotation pattern is continued. Blood-tinged fluid and bits of pink tissue will be seen flowing through the plastic tubing during the entire suction curettage.”
