Description

Explore the complex landscape of reproductive health with Abortion in India: Ground Realities by Routledge. While India led the way in legalizing Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) back in 1971, the reality on the ground presents significant challenges. This book examines why morbidity and mortality from unsafe abortions remain high even decades after legalization. Instead of focusing solely on national safe motherhood campaigns, this work looks at the gaps in public debate. It addresses how discussions often shift toward the declining sex ratio and sex-selective abortion, rather than the direct health impacts on women. By looking past the urban proliferation of clinics, this text examines the private and sensitive nature of abortion in India, including the ethical, moral, and religious factors that shape the experience of many. This book is an essential resource for those studying health, family, and lifestyle in the Indian context. It provides a necessary look at the social and medical realities that persist despite legal frameworks, making it a valuable addition to any collection on public health and midwifery.
