Must allow abortion of 'abnormal' foetuses post 20 weeks: SC
The Supreme Court on Friday observed that women must be allowed to abort foetuses with severe abnormalities beyond the legally permissible period of 20 weeks under the Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) Act. The SC's observation was based on a woman's petition, wherein she sought permission to abort her 25-week foetus as it suffered from cardiac issues.
