According to the Centers of Disease Control Prevention (CDC), over 20,000 women in Georgia have had abortions. There are several possible risks that can be obtained from having an abortion, these risks include: severe abdominal pain, spotting and bleeding from the vagina, diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, damage to the cervix, scarring of the lining of the uterine line, infections, and death. The process of aborting a fetus can happen in two ways, aspiration or dilation and evacuation. According to planned parent the process of aspiration is when the uterus is emptied with a gentle suction from a syringe. According to mayo clinic there are two types of aspiration process, manual and machine vacuum.

=**The Test**=

The Hydrostatic test, also known as the “lung floating test” was described by the University of Hospital Cologne as,  An obligatory measure to distinguish whether a newborn was born de ad or alive. In order to verify the reliability of the floating test, a new clinical trial should examine the results of current cases and thus expose, if the test is still contemporary. Following the question, if the test is appropriate for the nowadays birth collective, 208 lungs of newborns were tested with the floating test. The test showed the expected correct result in 204 cases. However, it indicated a false negative result in four cases, in which the lungs sank, although prior life had been reported by medical staff. Overall, the study was able to prove that the results of the floating test are reliable in 98 %. Further, there was not a single false-positive result (lungs of a stillborn swim). Nevertheless, the test demonstrates that a negative test result cannot be taken as proof for a newborn never to have breathed at all.
