Medical termination of pregnancy refers to the purposeful termination of a pregnancy before it has reached full term. MTP has been made legal in India, albeit with restrictions to prevent abuse. These conditions and limitations have been put in place to regulate and keep an eye on illegal female feticides. However, because of numerous religious, moral, and social difficulties, MTP is still not approved or permitted in some nations. MTP is mostly used to prevent unintended births that result from careless, unprotected intercourse, occasionally failed contraception, or even rape situations.
