Question

Indian Government has imposed strict restrictions for MTP. Which among the following options are responsible for imposing such restrictions?

• A. To check the indiscriminate and illegal female foeticides.
• B. MTPs performed illegally by unqualified quacks are unsafe and fatal.
• C. The risk factors involved in illegal abortions.
• D. All of the above.

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above.

The Government of India has imposed strict restrictions for MTPs to keep a check on the increasing number of female foeticides which is driven by a social preference for sons over daughters.

MTPs after the first trimester are highly risky and can be fatal to the pregnant woman.

MTPs are also avoided because sometimes these are performed illegally by unqualified quacks which are not only unsafe but could be fatal too.
