Understanding Abortion in the Context of South-Asia: Pro-Life or Pro-Choice?

Abortion has become the most debatable topic nowadays based on the pro-life or pro-choice debate. This paper focuses on three south Asian countries, their legal frameworks and in which debate they rely on. Bangladesh, India and Nepal are the countries that have different views on abortion. While one of them liberalized abortion, on the other hand another one narrowed the scope down. But each of the country still have some deprived women who are still being forced to be a mother, who became pregnant unintendedly, some of them cannot abort only because of their socio-economic state and all. Motherhood is not a thing to be imposed but to be felt. So, every person has right to choose whether to carry a baby or abort it. The access to safe abortion should be ensured in every country for a better mental and physical health of a woman.
