Intentional or voluntary termination of pregnancy before full term is called medical termination of pregnancy or induced abortion.
First 12 weeks of pregnancy or MTP done during three months is considered safe. If abortion is done during other three months it is fatal.
The grounds of induced abortion are: (i) The continuation of the pregnancy would involve a risk to the life of the pregnant woman or of grave injury of physical or mental health or (ii) There is a substantial risk that of the child were born, it would suffer from such physical or mental abnormalities as to be seriously handicapped.
MTP is to get rid of unwanted pregnancies either due to casual unprotected intercourse or failure of the contraceptive used during coitus or rapes.
