Saline-induced abortion is the method used in the late second trimester. This involves injecting a saline solution into the amniotic sac, which causes the fetus to inhale and ingest the solution, leading to fetal demise. It is considered the most common and effective method for this stage of pregnancy. Dilation and curettage (B) and vacuum curettage (C) are typically used in earlier stages of pregnancy, while vacuum aspiration (D) is most commonly used in the first trimester.
