This video (< 4 min) shows the most common first-trimester surgical #abortion procedure (D&C aspiration), in real time, with patient covered.
I recommend people watch it just to get a real sense of the (lack of) complexity of the procedure. It is obviously so much less than the pro-life side would have you believe.
For those who've had a pap smear, it's a bit worse, but not as bad as an endometrial biopsy. (I have had all 3.)
