she could hemmorage and die from bleeding. back before roe v. wade happened thats how women died from abortions. they would use things like sewing needles, poke through and die from blood loss. and chances are, she didn't kill it. there are too many resources for that to be going on.

there are several types of abortions:

D&C which is dilation and cutterage.
D&E which is dilation and evacuation.
And suction and aspiration is the most common. Its basically numbing the cervix and inserting a tube to collect the fetus into a tube.

The middle kind (D&E) would be the kind she would have to have. Although, if she is past a certain stage in her pregnancy, she might not be able to have one done.

She needs to be seen by a doctor whether they can do an abortion or not. If she gets an infection in her uterus or her cervix, she could die. There are too many ways doctors can help out girls in that situation to have another casualty from it. And I can tell you that you probably shouldn't go searching for stuff about abortions because if you just want the facts, you probably wont get them. you will probably be directed to most sites that are christian run which will not do anything except put her on a guilt trip. Tell her the serious risks that come along with what she did. I cannot stress enough how dangerous it is to not be seen by a doctor right now.
