A '''first trimester abortion''' is an [[abortion]] that takes place during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.<ref>[http://www.pregnancy-period.com/pregnancy-trimester.html Pregnancy Period.com]</ref> The most common first trimester abortions are vacuum aspiration and suction curettage.<ref name="ldi">[http://www.ldi.org/DeathCamps/Methods1.cfm Life Dynamics.org]</ref> In this procedure, the mother's [[cervix]] is dilated to the point where insertion of the suction device, known as a "cannula", can be inserted into the uterus. The contents of the mother's uterus — the [[fetus]] — are then vacuumed out through the cannula, using either an electronic or hand-powered suction device.<ref name="ldi"></ref> In some cases, the curette is then inserted to "scrape out" any remains from the mother's uterus.<ref>[http://www.emedicinehealth.com/dilation_and_curettage_dandc/article_em.htm "Dilation and Curettage (D&C)", ''Emedicine Health'']</ref>

[[Chemical abortion]]s are also performed in the first trimester, typically within the first nine weeks of pregnancy.<ref name="ldi"></ref> This is performed by a variety of different measures:

*'''[[Mifepristone]] (RU-486)''' is used to chemically induce abortion between five and nine weeks of pregnancy.<ref name="life">[http://www.lifesitenews.com/abortiontypes/chabortion_types.html "Abortion Methods", LifeSiteNews.com]</ref> More information about mifepristone can be found [[mifepristone|here]].

*'''[[Methotrexate]]''' is typically used as a treatment for autoimmune disorders and cancer by inhibiting the metabolism of folic acid, the B vitamin necessary for cell division. Methotrexate attacks the fast-growing cells called trophoblasts, which essentially are life support for the fetus. The trophoblasts draw oxygen and nutrients from the mother's blood supply.<ref name="life"></ref> Deprived of nutrition and oxygen, the baby dies.
