due to the high saline content, the osmotic balance is completely out of whack (hence why the baby dies). With the saline imbalance the water within the baby's blood floods out of the body. This causes the RBC to shrink and the blood to began to get syrup-y. This eventually causes blood clots and then heart attack/stroke (besides the poisenous effects of the saline solution), and this is what causes/contributes to the cause of death.
Hence, when the baby is removed, why it is dark purple (as someone looks when they are suffocated to death) and why there are dark spots (blood clots). Since the baby's skin is lacking mellanin (due to the lack of UV light), the blood clots are readily apparent.
As you said...just the facts. Another fact you may want to be aware of is that all this takes time. So the saline is injected into the amniotic fluid, and 24hrs later, she comes back to have the "procedure" finished. During that time, she is able to feel the baby pushing and kicking...until it stops. The saline procedure is only used in 2nd & 3rd trimester abortions.
