Popis:	With the objective to improve access to safe abortion services in India, the Ministry of Health and Welfare, with approval of the Law Ministry, published draft amendments of the MTP Act on October 29, 2014. Instead of the expected support, the amendments created a heated debate within professional medical associations of India. In this commentary, we review the evidence in response to the current discourse with regard to the amendments. It would be unfortunate if unsubstantiated one-sided arguments would impede the intention of improving access to safe abortion care in India.Keywords: health policy; abortion; India; women’s health(Published: 30 March 2015)Citation: Glob Health Action 2015, 8: 27512 - http://dx.doi.org/10.3402/gha.v8.27512
