Synopsis Abortion in India by : Leela Visaria
India was a pioneer in legalizing induced abortion, or Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) in 1971. Yet, after three decades, morbidity and mortality due to unsafe abortion remain a serious problem. There is little public debate on the issue despite several national campaigns on safe motherhood. Instead, discussion on abortion has mainly centred around declining sex ratio, sex-selective abortion, and the proliferation of abortion clinics in urban areas. Adding to the problem is that abortion continues to be a sensitive, private matter, often with ethical/moral/religious connotations that sets it apart from other reproductive health-seeking behaviour. This book fills a gap in our understanding of the ground realities with respect to induced abortion in India to create an evidence-based body of knowledge. Using both quantitative and qualitative research methods, the case studies show why and under what circumstances women seek abortion and the quality of services available to them. They also explore inter-generational differences in attitudes and practices, the perceptions and selection of providers, female-selective abortion, and informal abortion practitioners. Among other issues, the contributors show that strong preference for sons, availability of modern techniques for diagnostic tests, widespread acceptance of the small family norm, and heavy reliance on female sterilisation as the primary method of contraception lead women to abort unwanted pregnancies. A book that goes beyond the smokescreen of data and regulations to unravel the human story behind elective abortion, it will be of interest to those studying health, public policy, and gender, apart from the general reader.

Synopsis Safe Abortion by : World Health Organization
At a UN General Assembly Special Session in 1999, governments recognised unsafe abortion as a major public health concern, and pledged their commitment to reduce the need for abortion through expanded and improved family planning services, as well as ensure abortion services should be safe and accessible. This technical and policy guidance provides a comprehensive overview of the many actions that can be taken in health systems to ensure that women have access to good quality abortion services as allowed by law.

The issue of reproductive rights and access to safe abortion has been a subject of debate and discussion for several decades in different countries, including India and the United States. This study aims to explore the legal frameworks, policies, and cultural factors that affect the realisation of reproductive choices and access to safe abortion services in these two countries. Using a comparative research design, this study employs a mixed-methods approach to examine the legal frameworks and policies related to reproductive rights and access to safe abortion in India and the US. The study analyzes the cultural factors that impact the realisation of reproductive choices and access to safe abortion services in these two countries and identifies the challenges and gaps in the implementation of reproductive rights and safe abortion services. Based on the findings of the study, the paper provides recommendations for improving the implementation of reproductive rights and safe abortion services in India and the US. The study's findings are useful for policymakers, healthcare providers, and civil society organizations working to improve reproductive health outcomes and access to safe abortion services in these two countries.
