Women in India Prefer Taking Pills over Abortion Test New Delhi, 6th Dec: Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh have a large number of women opting for pills over an abortion test to end their pregnancies. The number is up to 63% in Tamil Nadu and 83% in U.P; which is quite high. This means, instead of consulting doctors, they are buying pills directly from the chemists. The data of the total number of women doing so has been calculated by the researchers from New York’s Guttmacher Institute, Mumbai’s International Institute of Population Sciences and Delhi’s Population Council. The group of researchers conducted a survey in different states namely; Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat, Assam, Tamil Nadu, and Uttar Pradesh. The National Family Health Surveys emphasizes the fact that the rate of abortions in India has been underreported. It further suggests that the country hasn’t paid much attention to the issue of unsafe pregnancy termination. Susheela Singh, the V.P and lead researcher of Guttmacher Institute says,” Abortion services in India are scarce and women aren’t aware of them. Therefore, this study acts as an important proof that our country needs to make abortion centers more accessible.” The Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act of 1971 states that it is legal to opt for abortion up to 20 weeks. After that its a matter of life and death for most women. It also affects the mental and physical health of women if they opt for a test for abortion after 20 weeks.
Legally, it is vital to go to expert doctors in order to take the abortion process ahead. By 2003, the use of MMA i.e. Medical Methods of Abortion enhanced and women started using other alternatives to What needs to be understood is the fact that a large number of abortion procedures do not take place in official health centers. So, there is no information that they took place within the specified week period or not. There is one thing common in the statistics of all the six states. All of them show that the abortion took place by using medicines or other methods and not via health care facilities. There is only a small number that has actually opted for the right way. Susheela Singh further explains that “Women these days opt for MMA over Abortion Test because that way it is easier. Also, that method is safe to make use of. The only thing that they need to make note of is the time period within which they consume them. But the quality of information and instructions is very low if compared to the official health care sector.‘ About the Company Mangal Kamna Pathology and Diagnostic Centre, also known as Mangal Kamna Diagnostics is situated in Kanpur, India.
