Intentional or voluntary termination of pregnancy by undergoing appropriate medication/procedure before the full term is called medical termination of pregnancy (MTP) or induced abortion. The government of India legalized MTP in 1971 with some strict conditions to avoid its misuse like indiscrimination and illegal female foeticide. It is very common to perform MTP if the sex of the baby is found out to be female through amniocentesis. This is considered illegal and is dangerous for both the mother and the baby.
