An ASAP study on abortion laws explored the knowledge, attitudes and understanding of gatekeepers such as lawmakers and implementers on women\u2019s rights to safe and legal abortion. Respondents included legislators, high-ranking police personnel, jailors, medical practitioners, hospital administrators, other persons, tasked with the implementation of abortion related laws as well as those whose opinion and experience carries weight in legal and policy advocacy.<\/p>\n

The study revealed a significant lack of knowledge among respondents on intricacies of the MTP Act as well as International Covenants relevant to women\u2019s right to safe abortion in India. Findings also revealed \u2018pro-choice\u2019 versus \u2018pro-life\u2019 internal conflicts among respondents, suggesting the need to improve the attitudes of lawmakers towards women\u2019s right to abortion.<\/p>\n

Consequently, ASAP recommends that the MTP act and related laws should become a part of the regular law school curriculum. This is to ensure those with the authority to influence laws related to women\u2019s access to safe abortion services are sensitized and aware of ground realities.<\/p>\n
