With more and more women popping the pill to avoid pregnancies, early terminations are now on the rise
While babies may be known as gifts from the Gods, many young women in the city are taking to terminating these gifts in the early stages of pregnancy. With oral contraceptives being regularly advertised on television, doctors in the city say that more women are now becoming masters of their choices thus reducing a late termination.
Gynaecologist Ritu Naresh from Belle Vues Cambridge Hospital, said, "A lot of women now know they have more choices. Many of them blindly take emergency contraceptive pills, which is dangerous. I help abort about 10 fetuses a month -- about 90 per cent of the patients are unmarried women."
