How do they abort a three week fetus?

Answer:

At up to 7 weeks, typically, via a procedure called Manual Vacuum Aspiration. A thin vacuum line is inserted and the tissue removed in this way.

Alternately, the RU486 Mifepristone pill is workable at three weeks. This usually takes 3 visits to the doctor's office.

Both of these procedures are clinically safe to the mother, mostly painless, and performed on an out patient basis.
