Abortion, public debate, pregnanciesAbstract
Abortion remains the sensitive matter in most countries, receiving a lot of international attention not only as a public health concern but also as an ethical and religious issue. Public discussion on abortion in India has either cantered on declining sex ratios and sex selective abortions or on the proliferation of clinics across urban areas. Unfortunately, there is much less public debate on abortion related morbidity and mortality despite several national programs and campaigns for safe motherhood. There are various reasons as to why women seek abortion. The reasons appear to range from such proximate causes as the desire to limit family size or to space pregnancies, the preference for sons and medical compulsion, to more distant determinants like poverty, violence and local belief systems. Abortion has been a controversial issue both nationally and internationally. There are various factors that trigger a change in the type of abortion law in India and U.S.A. one pertinent question that has left everybody in dilemma is whether a mother has right to terminate her pregnancy at her will or the rights of an unborn child take a front seat.
