Hallow Dear,
The easiest way to terminate the pregnancy up to 9 weeks of gestation is by Medicines. Tab. Mifepristone followed after 24-48 hours by Tab. Misoprostol terminate the pregnancy safely and effectively.
These medicines are not over the counter medicines. They have to be procured by Obstetrician's prescription and taken in prescribed and scheduled doses under observation. A follow up visit to the Obstetrician after 7 days is advisable. After abortion, it is better to confirm the completeness of the abortion by ultrasonography.
These medicines are known to cause developmental abnormality in the baby. Hence if at all they fail to terminate the pregnancy, the decision should not be reverted to continuation of pregnancy. In that case, the termination should be carried out by surgical evacuation of uterus - may be by MVA kit.
I hope this helps you.

Hallow Sir,
In fact this question is quite older chronologically; however, since it is present in the list of questions, I am answering your query.
To terminate the pregnancy of your wife, you have following options:
A. Medical termination up to 9 weeks of gestation:
1. Tab. Mifepristone followed after 24-48 hours by Tab. Misoprostol. or
2. Misoprostol alone regime: Tab. Misoprostol every 3-12hours up to 3 doses.
These medicines should be taken only with Gynaecologist's advise regarding the doses and the routes of administration of the medicines. Usually, these medicines abort the pregnancy within 24 hours, but not later than 3 days. The completeness of abortion may be confirmed by ultrasonography.
These medicines cause the developmental defects in the baby. Hence, in case of failure of this medicine, the pregnancy should be terminated by surgical method.
B Surgical Methods:
1. MVA aspiration of the uterine cavity by syringe and cannula.
2. Suction evacuation of uterine cavity
3. Dilatation and evacuation: This method is almost obsolete from modern Obstetrics.
These methods are for termination under 12 weeks of gestation.
I feel, for you wife, Tab. Mifepristone + Tab. Misoprostol should be ideal and most suitable.
