/dʌɪˈleɪʃən/

/dɪˈleɪʃən/

Etymology: Improperly < dilate v.², which does not contain the verbal suffix -ate, but a stem -late from Latin lātus broad, so that the etymologically correct formation is dilatation. (Compare coercion, dispution for disputation, etc.).

dilation and extraction n. Surgery (more fully intact dilation and extraction) a method of performing abortion, chiefly in the second or third trimester of pregnancy, by dilation of the cervix and extraction of the fetus, without the need for disarticulation but usually requiring suction decompression to allow the head to pass the cervix.

ΚΠ

1984 Washington Post 25 Aug. g3/4 An abortion performed by an experienced physician early in pregnancy is an exceedingly safe procedure..and, using the technique of dilation and extraction, can be quick and relatively painless.

1996 Reprod. Freedom News 4 Oct. 4 The final version of the bill..sought to ban an abortion method, technically termed ‘intact dilation and evacuation’ or ‘dilation and extraction’ (D&X), primarily used later in pregnancies in cases in which a woman's life or health is threatened, including cases of severe fetal anomaly.

2001 Elle Mar. 275/1 At issue was a Nebraska statute banning the rare late-term abortion procedure known as D&X (short for intact dilation and extraction).

Draft additions December 2006

dilation and evacuation n. Surgery a method of performing abortion, chiefly in the second or third trimester of pregnancy, by dilation of the cervix and a combination of curettage and vacuum aspiration to remove the fetus; cf. intact dilation and evacuation n. at intact adj. Additions.

ΚΠ

1974 Bucks County Courier Times (Levittown, Pennsylvania) 28 Mar. 24/3 The dilation and evacuation method is most commonly used to abort fetuses up to the age of 12 weeks.

1989 E. Keynes & R. K. Miller Court vs. Congress ix. 270 The dissenters claimed that most postviability abortions are emergency procedures that usually employ dilation and evacuation, in which case there is no chance for fetal survival.

2005 New Yorker (Nexis) 28 Nov. 70 The law..was so vaguely worded that it would have banned not only D & X abortions but also the much more common ‘dilation and evacuation’ (D & E) procedure.
