What does an early abortion look like?
All tissue removed from uterus for 5-6 week pregnancy. Forceps point to
gestational sac. All other tissue is tissue, from uterus associated with the
pregnancy

Gestational sac from a termination of pregnancy at 6-7 weeks.
This is a magnified image of an embryo at 5 weeks from conception
(7 weeks from last menstrual period). The embryo came from an
ectopic pregnancy.

This is the same embryo at actual size.

As far as the tissue (sorry for being gross) you would never even notice that in menstrual fluid. No wonder so many people never even realise they've miscarried.
Interesting.

I think the relative size is a good point Morgan, and something that I don't think we really comprehend that often. I guess, we know that sperm are microscopic, from physical sightings of semen, but with egg's there unseen, so I suppose we imagine them to be bigger, and thus naturally assume anti-abortion imagery to be correct.

Yeah Ruby, I dunno what some folks are thinking eh. I mean, it's basically just some snot- You could literally blow your nose and abort your pregnancy (if your nose was in your groin of course...)

Anything and Everything!!!
Great Info!
But In the end, it really doesnt matter what it looks like.
It is totally up to the individual whether or not an abortion is right for them or not.
It has nothing to do with anyone else. And its about time people relised that. Abortion has been around for alot of years and is going to continue.
And im sure most sane people will agree with me when i say "who wants to live in a world where all your decisions in life are made for you" NOT ME.
Just let People decide for themselves if they want an abortion or not. It has SFA to do with any other person.

Mum's Word
I have a friend of mine who miscarried at 13 weeks.
When she was pregnant the second time she had some bleeding and needed best rest. The bleeding got quite heavy and we were all worried for her.
And then she said something that I'll never forget.
"The bleeding is bad but I haven't passed the sac".
My heart just sank.
So while a sac at 5 weeks is quite small at 13 weeks it's quite an obvious thing.
Like I said in your other post, I'm a prochoicer but to be honest the whole thing is just heartbreaking. I can't imagine having an abortion is an easy thing.
Love & stuff

It's amazing though just how a little speck of muck 'can' grow into a person isn't it... like have you actually looked at Alex and thought "Woah, I made that... and hes bloody HUGE!" (Like huge compared to the fertilised egg).
