Abortion in India is legal but it involves lot of complications.
It has now been almost 30 years since the passage of the MTP Act. Only a token number of abortions — a very tiny proportion of India’s crores of abortions that have been performed since then — were carried out safely in accordance with the Act’s provisions.
Though the practice of female feticide is against the law in India, many families, including those in the middle-class, continue to voluntarily abort female fetuses at alarmingly high rates. While abortion is legal in India, sex-selective abortion is not.
According to The Washington Times, there are about 6.7 million abortions in India annually
