ABSTRACT
Abortion in layman’s terms known as termination of pregnancy. There are two types namely spontaneous abortion which means an abortion that occurs without intervention also known as miscarriage and the other one is induced abortion. In this type deliberate steps are taken to end the pregnancy. Due to current progressive thinking and developments, abortion is one of the subjects that have been discussed extensively at both national and international levels. It has become a controversial issue all over the world. The main issue or leading question is whether the mother’s right to choose pregnancy should prevail over the right of the unborn and to what extent it affects the constitutionality of Indian laws relating to abortion.
