Abstract

Reproductive rights are fundamental rights of all persons under the Constitution of India and have also been recognised as statutory rights under the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act, 1971. However, pregnant persons* continue to be denied their reproductive rights-particularly to terminate their pregnancy-due to misunderstandings and apprehensions amongst abortion seekers and providers about the law governing abortions. Therefore, the reproductive rights of pregnant persons cannot be realised without providing medical service providers access to information about their rights and obligations with respect to the medical termination of pregnancies.
