Suction Curettage
The official medical term for an abortion is suction curettage. Suction means to suck, curettage is basically scraping with a round knife. I love how medicine is able to break down this enormous emotional procedure that is a passionate part of our political atmosphere. With protestors and doctor murders , candidates for various administrations promising to either support or appose it.
It’s such a big deal to so many people. It is a topic of so much debate , there are movies and books and songs about it. There bumper stickers and t shirts and coffee mugs, there are people that devote their entire life to this cause.
But to medicine it’s a simple procedure. Suck and scrape. That’s it. No debate, no emotion, no complications - just suck and scrape. I sometimes wish everything in life was that simple.

I was recently summoned to a meeting in Stockholm, a city I had somehow managed to avoid despite living in Copenhagen for years. My Swedish experience, up to this point, consisted entirely of trips to Malmö — the closest Swedish city to Denmark and, more i...
