Saline Abortions Developed in Nazi Germany

The saline abortion procedure was originally developed in the concentration camps of Nazi Germany

Thomas Hilgers and Dennis Horan, editors Abortion and Social Justice (New York: Sheed & Ward, 1972) 292

A saline abortion is performed by injecting a poisonous salt solution into a woman’s uterus which poisons the baby and Burns’s skin over the course of several hours. After the baby dies, labor is induced and the woman gives birth to her dead child. This technique of abortion led to so many live births and was so dangerous to women that it was abandoned in the early 1990s and is now seldom performed.
