  8. Methods of Fertility Control • Tubal Ligation - female has fallopian tubes cut and tied off • Hysterectomy - removal of uterus • Vasectomy - male has vasa deferentia cut and tied off

  9. Abortion - medical means of terminating pregnancy • Vacuum aspirations - gentle suction to remove foetal • Dilation + Evacuation - foetal is both sucked and scraped out of the uterus • Hysterectomy - surgical removal of foetal • Induction abortion - chemicals used to remove foetal from uterus
