Brief Summary

The majority of second-trimester pregnancy termination performed in the United States are performed surgically by dilation and evacuation. The frequency of induction of abortion increases as gestational age advances. In the late second trimester and early third trimester, induction is the primary method of termination in cases of fetal abnormalities. In many other countries, however, induction is the primary method of abortion throughout the second trimester
