The Madras High Court has allowed a 16-year-old sexual assault survivor to terminate her 30-week pregnancy, subject to a medical board finding the procedure safe.
Every right comes with a cap. The right to terminate a pregnancy is no different. It must be tempered with medical caution, particularly as gestational age advances and the risks to the mother herself become genuinely serious
It is imperative that the law expands provisions to sensitively acknowledge the psychological burden of an unwanted pregnancy and facilitate access to safe abortions
The Court acknowledges that a non-permissible, restrictive legal approach towards abortion does not necessarily prevent it. Rather, it compounds the risk of unsafe abortions by “quacks and unauthorised doctors”
The interaction between Hawley and Dr Verma, who is a double board-certified obstetrics-gynaecologist, went viral on social media and a clip of the hearing was also posted on X by the senator.
