AND JURAL PROBLEMS
RELATED TO
ASSESSMENT OF
ARTIFICIAL ABORTION.
By- Henan Fatemah Pathan Group

WHAT IS ETHICS?
Ethics is the branch of philosophy dealing with values
relating to human conduct, with respect to the rightness
and wrongness of certain actions and to the goodness
and badness of the motives and ends of such actions.
WHAT IS ABORTION?
The word abortion comes from the Latin abortio, which
means to abort, miscarry, deliver prematurely. The Latin
word abortus means "miscarriage, premature, untimely
birth". In medicine abortion means ending a pregnancy
prematurely. An abortion is when the pregnancy is
ended so that it does not result in the birth of a child.
Sometimes this is called 'termination of pregnancy'.
Induced abortion is still used in many countries as a means of
family planning. The medical reasons for abortion are limited and
constitute a small proportion of all abortion cases. A number of
conflicting views on induced abortion from various religious
groups, secular humanists, liberals, and feminists have created
divisions and conflict, culminating in acts of violence and loss of
life. Indeed, abortion is the most controversial area of family
planning, and the least understood and socially accepted. However,
it is, unfortunately, the most important method employed by the
advocates of fertility regulation and family planning.
Approximately 44 million abortions are performed worldwide each
year. Of these, 26 million are said to occur in places where abortion
is legal; the others happen where the procedure is illegal. The world
ratio for induced abortions is 26 per 100 known pregnancies.
Among the 208 million women estimated to become pregnant each
year worldwide, 59 % (or 123 million) experience a planned (or
intended) pregnancy leading to a birth or miscarriage or a stillbirth.
The remaining 41 % (or 85 million) of pregnancies are unintended.
ABORTION IN INDIAN LAW
Abortion in India is legal only up to twenty weeks of pregnancy under specific conditions and
situations which are broadly defined as:
● If a woman is married, her own written consent is sufficient.
● Her husband’s consent is not required.
● If a woman is unmarried and over 18, she can provide her own written consent.
● If a woman is unmarried and under 18, she must provide written consent from her
guardian.
● If a woman is mentally unstable, she must provide written consent from her guardian.
ABORTION IN USA LAW
● In consultation with their physician, women have a constitutionally
protected right to have an abortion in the early stages of pregnancy.
● Abortion has been legal in the USA since 1973, but may be restricted
by any of the 56 states to varying degrees.
● Approximately 3700 abortions are conducted daily in the United
States.
Legal Arguments
● Right to life
● Supreme Court decision
● Legal definition of murder
● Definition of murder – exceptions
● Personhood issues
