High Courts Witnessing Surge In Abortion Cases: Report

There have been a complete 243 instances filed throughout 14 excessive courts, the report stated (Representational)

New Delhi:

High Courts throughout the nation are witnessing a considerable improve in abortion instances, a brand new report launched on Tuesday stated.

“Assessing the Judiciary’s Role in Access to Safe Abortion- II” report analysed instances looking for permission of termination of being pregnant from the High Courts between May 2019 and August 2020.

The report was launched by Pratigya, a community of over 100 people and organisations working in the direction of defending and advancing ladies’s rights and their entry to protected abortion care in India.

“There were a total 243 cases filed across 14 high courts and one appeal before the Supreme Court. In 84 per cent of the cases, permissions were given to terminate the pregnancy,” the report stated.

It stated, 74 per cent of the whole instances have been filed submit the 20-week gestation interval, 23 per cent of them have been filed throughout the 20-week gestation interval and shouldn’t have gone to the courts in any respect.

“Out of 74 per cent cases (filed after 20 weeks cut off) 29 per cent cases were related to rape/sexual abuse, 42 per cent related to foetal anomalies; and out of 23 per cent cases (filed even before 20 weeks) 18 per cent cases were related to sexual abuse/rape and 6 per cent of foetal anomaly,” the report stated.

Commenting on the authorized facet in India and the research findings, Anubha Rastogi, Pratigya Campaign Advisory Group Member and creator of the report stated the rising variety of instances solely point out to the truth that entry to protected and authorized abortion providers on this nation nonetheless leaves quite a bit to be desired.

“It is imperative that any change in law takes note of these increasing trends and moves towards a rights based, inclusive and accessible legislation on abortion. Any new law/amendment cannot be based on third party authorisation like the medical boards and has to be respectful of a decision that involves the registered service provider and the pregnant person,” he stated.

Speaking on the launch of the report, V S Chandrashekar, Campaign Advisory Group member, Pratigya Campaign stated the truth that even ladies/ladies with gestation beneath 20 weeks have needed to go to courts is distressing.

“The MTP Act allows termination of a pregnancy upto 20 weeks. A large number of the below 20 weeks cases are of survivors of sexual abuse and this only increases their trauma,” he stated.

The report emphasises on how essential it’s for the legislation to adapt in accordance to the altering instances. The Medical Termination of Pregnancy (Amendment) Bill, 2020, is awaiting a nod from the Rajya Sabha and some modifications have been really useful by civil society organisations, which if accepted would make the Act progressive and rights based mostly, the report stated.

“Even if the MTP Amendment Bill 2020 is passed in the current form, the number of cases approaching the courts is not likely to reduce,” Chandrashekar stated.

“Therefore, to avoid this, the proposed amendment to ‘increase the gestation limit from 20-24 weeks’ should be extended to all pregnant persons who need to terminate a pregnancy, instead of being restricted to only to certain categories of women as defined in the MTP Rules,” Chandrashekar added.

“Similarly, the ‘no upper gestational limit proposed for fetal anomalies’ should be extended to survivors of sexual abuse/rape. Forcing a person to carry a pregnancy out of rape to term is a violation of her right to life and dignity,” he stated.
