What is MTP/ Abortion?
Abortion is a procedure that enables a woman to opt-out of an unwanted pregnancy. A medical procedure for ending a pregnancy at any time before the fetus has attained the stage of viability is called Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) or abortion. It is not a family planning method but it is a reliable method of terminating an unplanned and unwanted pregnancy.
An abortion can be induced or spontaneous. Spontaneous abortion occurs when a pregnancy terminates without any medical or surgical intervention, as in the case of a miscarriage. Induced abortions involve surgical or medical procedures for the termination of the pregnancy.
MTP Act of 1971:
Abortion became legal in India in 1971 under certain circumstances. The bill, “Medical Termination and Pregnancy Act” was passed by the parliament keeping in mind the progress the medical science had in the field to make abortions safe and its side effects not life-threatening.
The medical termination of pregnancy can only be done (by law) if there are:
- A possible health risk to the physical/mental condition of the mother
- A potential risk to the health of the growing fetus
- If a woman gets pregnant as a result of rape
- Failure of contraception
While the abortion laws differ from country to country, in India, it can be performed under certain circumstances until 20 weeks of pregnancy. But there are few exceptional cases, where the court may allow a termination post 20 weeks.
