Writer: Unique LawUnique Law

Author: Shivangi Prakash* & Co-author: Ansh Yadav**


ABSTRACT

The concept of abortion has become a horrific crime, or rather a social norm, in India, a country of atheism and spirituality, but the wave of modernization and the post-colonial ideological conflict will cause people to move between cultures. And the culture of dealing with current difficulties, including medical abortion, was a sign of reassurance for everyone. This article describes the Medical Abortion Act of 1971, the amendments made in 2002 and 2003, and the rules and improvements made. This article addresses not only initiatives to improve women's reproductive rights and the availability of safe abortion, but also needs, issues and some issues that are often overlooked.


Keywords:- The Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act 1971, Unwanted Pregnancies, Feotal anamolies, 20 weeks of pregnancy, 24 weeks termination.
