Hyderabad: TRS working president K T Rama Rao on Friday applauded the Supreme Court’s judgement on women’s abortion rights.
“Wholeheartedly applaud & welcome the landmark Pro-Choice judgement delivered by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India on the #AbortionRights women,” Rama Rao, also a Minister of Telangana, tweeted.
In a landmark verdict, the Supreme Court on Thursday expanded the scope of the Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) Act and the corresponding rules to include unmarried women for abortion between 20-24 weeks of pregnancy, saying limiting the provision to cover only married women would render it discriminatory and violative of Article 14.
