The information below is taken from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists website. We have simply included a clear explanation of any euphemism in brackets:

Medical abortion – after 9 weeks of pregnancy [when the unborn baby has a gestational age of 9 weeks - at 9 weeks the baby's face is forming, the brain is developing, brain waves can be read and the heart has been beating for weeks]
You take the same drugs as you would for an early medical abortion. At this stage, however, abortion [the termination of the baby's life] takes longer and you may need to have more than one dose of prostaglandin. If you have a medical abortion between 12 and 24 weeks of pregnancy [when the unborn baby is between 12 and 24 weeks old, gestationally] you should be cared for by a midwife or nurse who has appropriate experience [experience of carrying out the termination of a baby's life]. You should ideally have a single room.

Suction termination– usually from 7 to 12 or 15 weeks [by the end of this time the baby is fully formed. It has all its organs, muscles, limbs and bones, it just needs to grow].
Some services [abortion organisations] offer suction termination [abortion using an instrument like a hoover to dismember the baby] up to the 12th week of pregnancy [when the baby is up to 12 weeks old], while others offer it up to the 15th week [when the baby is up to 15 weeks gestation]. It can sometimes be used if you are less than 7 weeks pregnant [when the baby is less than 7 weeks old].

Suction termination [abortion using an instrument like a hoover] can be carried out with a local or general anaesthetic. A local anaesthetic is safest [for the mother - there is no such thing as 'safe' for the unborn baby who will be killed by the procedure]. The suction device may be electric or operated by hand. Electric suction is quicker [electric suction destroys the baby's body quicker].

The entrance to your womb (known as the cervix) is gently stretched and opened until it is wide enough for the contents of the womb [the baby] to be removed with a suction tube. The extent to which the cervix needs to be opened depends on the size of the pregnancy [the baby]. To make this safer [there is no such thing as 'safer' for the baby], there are a number of effective ways to soften the cervix beforehand, for example by inserting tablets containing misoprostol (a type of prostaglandin hormone) into your vagina.

Surgical dilatation and evacuation (D& E) – from about 15 weeks of pregnancy [when the baby is 15 or more weeks old]
Your cervix is gently stretched and opened (this is known as dilatation) so that the pregnancy [the baby] can be removed [torn apart / cut up and pulled out] in fragments [in pieces] with a suction tube and
forceps.  You usually need a general anaesthetic [the baby may also feel pain if not anaesthetised].

Late abortions-For all terminations at gestational age of more than 21 weeks and 6 days
The method chosen should ensure that the fetus [the baby] is born dead. This should be undertaken by an appropriately trained practitioner. Intracardiac potassium chloride is the recommended method and the dose chosen should ensure that fetal asystole has been achieved [a sufficiently lethal dose of potassium chloride solution should be injected into the baby's heart to cause the baby to suffer a fatal cardiac arrest (stopped heart). This ensures that the baby dies]. It should be confirmed by observing the fetal [the baby's] heart by an ultrasound scan for five minutes. Additionally, it is mandatory to confirm asystole [that the baby's heart has stopped beating] by an ultrasound scan 30-60 minutes after the procedure, and definitely before the patient leaves hospital.

Consideration can be given to abolishing fetal [the baby's] movements by the instillation of anaesthetic and/or muscle relaxant agents immediately prior to potassium chloride administration. [Killing a baby by inducing a cardiac arrest is not an immediate death. As it is dying, the baby may writhe and spasm violently and unpleasantly, which may distress the mother.]
