What is MTP/ Abortion?
Abortion is a procedure that enables a woman to opt-out of an unwanted pregnancy. A medical procedure for ending a pregnancy at any time before the fetus has attained the stage of viability is called Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) or abortion. It is not a family planning method but it is a reliable method of terminating an unplanned and unwanted pregnancy.
An abortion can be induced or spontaneous. Spontaneous abortion occurs when a pregnancy terminates without any medical or surgical intervention, as in the case of a miscarriage. Induced abortions involve surgical or medical procedures for the termination of the pregnancy.
MTP Act of 1971:
Abortion became legal in India in 1971 under certain circumstances. The bill, “Medical Termination and Pregnancy Act” was passed by the parliament keeping in mind the progress the medical science had in the field to make abortions safe and its side effects not life-threatening.
The medical termination of pregnancy can only be done (by law) if there are:
- A possible health risk to the physical/mental condition of the mother
- A potential risk to the health of the growing fetus
- If a woman gets pregnant as a result of rape
- Failure of contraception
While the abortion laws differ from country to country, in India, it can be performed under certain circumstances until 20 weeks of pregnancy. But there are few exceptional cases, where the court may allow a termination post 20 weeks.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Women who have had an abortion worry that it may affect their ability to conceive or bear a child in the future. They will be relieved to learn that now it is generally believed that a single abortion performed in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy does not pose a threat to future childbearing potential.
Although the MTP Act allows termination up to 20 weeks of pregnancy, it is advised that the sooner the termination is done the better. As soon as the menstrual date is missed, a urine test to confirm pregnancy should be done.
Discontinuation of pregnancy has been practiced from time immemorial. The procedure was known to practitioners of Gynecological Medicine but because of society’s attitude, it has resulted in unnecessary complications. Our Government recognized this silent need in society and passed legislation called ‘The Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act in 1971’ which came into force on 1st April 1972. This act makes the termination of pregnancies legal for doctors and for clients. India is among the first few countries to legalize the termination of unwanted pregnancy.
