So there is case of a mother who wants to abort a baby that has been diagnosed with Congenital heart defects at 25 weeks. The law of the land (India) is agains this and the mother has challenegd the exixting law on abortion. I am on the side of the petitioner, for i strongly believe that it is her and her husband's choice.
What right does anyone else have in this matter?
If we can allow abortion upto 12 weeks then why not in the later weeks, if it does not constitute a health hazard to the mother.
A fetus is a fetus whether it is a day old or 24 weeks old. So the argument against the petitioner based on the age of the fetus is irrelevant.
A very valid and important question that the mother raises is if others (Society, GOvt) is insisting that the child be born are they going to take up responsibility for the baby?
Be realistic the Indian govt. has failed to take care of poor nomeal kids.
So let the parents have the last word in this matter. And yes let the govt and the rest of us stay out of this one.:-)
