Allegra Gigante Luft on 22 Apr 10Duggal, Ravi and Vimala Ramachandran. 2004. "The Abortion Assessment Project-India: Key Findings and Recommendations."Reproductive Health Matters. 12(24): 122-129. This article was published in the issue titled, "Abortion Law, Policy and Practice in Transition" and I found it very helpful in understanding the significance of abortion in India. This is a paper based on one of the largest studies on abortion ever undertaken in India. It includes; the state of the current facilities, the affects of the legalization of medical abortion, how abortion procedures has been integrated into community health centers, and about the increased investment in public facilities, among other things. This article also gives suggestions in attempts to create a safer environment for women to make their own educated decisions.
