Dilation and extraction. It's the medical name for "partial-birth abortion."
ilovemyglo is taking about dilation and curettage (D&C), which is one of the more common first trimester types of abortion. Dilation and evacuation (D&E) is common during the second trimester, along with a couple other types. D&X abortions, or what are commonly known as partial birth abortions, generally take place during late second trimester or into the third trimester.
