    Medical board recommends abortion

    The Supreme Court took the decision after the Bangalore Medical College and Research Centre' medical board recommended abortion. Giving its go-ahead for the medical termination of pregnancy, the apex court has asked the hospital to conduct the procedure.

    Karnataka HC rejects rape victim's abortion plea

    On 1 September, the Karnataka HC rejected the 17-year-old rape survivor's abortion plea; she was over 20 weeks pregnant at the time. The court refused to examine further two medical reports it had sought earlier. Justice A Bopanna said the implied observation of the reports is that there is no risk in continuing the pregnancy, but the girl doesn't want to do so.
