Handbook on Abortion Laws for Healthcare Service Providers in India

This handbook, jointly developed by IDF and The Centre for Justice, Law, and Society, Jindal Global Law School, seeks to clarify the legal position of abortion in India and make abortion service providers aware of their rights and obligations under the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act 1971. In India, the law allows all pregnant persons to have an abortion upon satisfying certain specified conditions under the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act. This handbook also charts out the circumstances under which pregnant persons are allowed to undergo abortions and the corresponding responsibility of service providers to facilitate such access.
