4. Description Abstract One finds oneself agreeing with much of Dr. S.G. Kabra's views on abortion in India. The Indian State's interest in providing abortion services in the country, has as Dr. Kabra points out, been governed essentially by the exigencies of the family planning programme. The programme operates both from eugenic considerations - the perceived 'need' to prevent some sections of the population from reproducing themselves - and from perceived 'national' interests. He also rightly focuses on the indifference of the State in allowing illegal or badly performed abortions that can lead to a range of health problems for women, and in some cases, their deaths.
