Answer #1

Abortion is also called induced abortion, is the deliberate termination of a pregnancy by surgical or medical (with drugs) means. According to the ethics and rules and regulations of a country abortion is only permitted in the following conditions :-

-> pregnant women's life at risk

-> child health is so weak that it will lead to death after few weeks

-> child has some congenital malformations or abnormalities

-> parents socio-economic status is too weak that they cannot take care of a baby

-> pregnancy due to rape

-> contraception failed

-> unprotected sex while drunk/ diminished capacity

-> morally permissible to have abortion unless mother intentionally becomes pregnant

-> if having fetus would mean baby's life involved a lot of suffering eg mentally or physically disabled
