A complete method of saline abortion has been presented. This method has been well thought out, is physiologically sound, and has been proven safe and reliable. Although we have reduced the potential for complications to a minimum, those specific to the salting-out procedure as well as those inherent in any mid-trimester labor and delivery cannot be completely eliminated. Therefore, there can be no shortcuts. Salting out must be performed only in a hospital where well trained specialists are available to handle any complications that may occur.
