High Courts Permit Pregnancy Terminations Beyond 24 Weeks in Special Circumstances
The Madras High Court permitted termination of a pregnancy beyond 24 weeks due to significant fetal abnormalities, emphasizing a mother's right to decide. Separately, the Delhi High Court allowed a 17-year-old rape survivor to terminate her 29-week pregnancy, ruling that the 24-week limit should not be the sole factor. Both courts highlighted the importance of considering individual circumstances, medical opinions, and the pregnant woman's rights when deciding on late-term terminations.
