Abstract

No other issue has raised so many questions as medical termination of pregnancy (abortion). This issue is seen as conflict of rights between mother and the unborn child. Supporters of mother's rights can argue that decision regarding continuation or termination of pregnancy should be entirely on mother's discretion, as she has to bear and raise the child. Also she has to go through trauma of delivery.
