A diagram of a vacuum aspiration abortion procedure at 8 weeks gestation. Figure I: The vagina is held opened by a speculum [4] in order for a tube (called a vacurette [5]), which is attached [6] to a suction pump, to be inserted through the patient's cervix. Figure II: The products of conception (amionic sac [1], embryo [2], uterine lining [3], etc.) are then evacuated through the vacurette.

I used SpirellaCorsetry02.gif as tracing reference for the hands and Illu repdt female.jpg as tracing reference for the internal organs and body outline. The references I used for the procedure itself come from two sources: Jones, R. E. and Lopez, K. H. Human Reproductive Biology. p. 425; and Decherney, A. H. and Pernoll, M. L. Current Obstetric & Gynecologic Diagnosis & Treatment. p. 684.
