Abortion act in India is very strict law that tells about how, when and in which circumstances a Women can abort her child. In India abortion is a disputed topic for married as well as for Unmarried couples as society is very cruel with its norms and looks for them. Married Woman has to take her Husband permission for Abortion and Unmarried Women can abort the child under the high scrutiny of social stigma but without anyone's permission which promote Liberty for Sexual Health. But there are certain restrictions that kills this Liberty like any Women can abort up to 20 weeks of pregnancy in normal case but if the case is affecting the health of mother and child and also if the case is of rape then the pregnancy can be terminated beyond the time limit of 20 weeks and in some cases if the ruling of the court comes late in and above 20 weeks. But in normal cases like in consensual relationship the beyond 20 weeks time limit is not applicable even if the mother is minor and has some ambitions in life like higher studies and financially not stable to take care of the child. This is the barrier that is created by the society for abortion for women. If any women want to terminate the pregnancy of beyond 20 weeks she has to take the prescription of two doctors. In my view abortion laws should be made Liberal for all the women and their right to decision and health should be taken care of.
