In general when a surgical abortion is performed, most of what is there is not the fetus, but the supportive tissue. Meaning that the tissue makes up a greater percentage of what is actually removed, since the fetus is still so small at this point.

*depending on gestational age, could be embryo
While I don't doubt what you're saying, as I have never been nor do I have interest in getting pregnant or having an abortion at any point in the past or present, nor do I have a strong scientifc background, but I cannot understand how "supportive tissue" can be removed and a child survive.
