At our collective, we have been pushing for a decriminalization approach as punitive approaches have severely affected our communities.

Recognize abortion as an essential healthcare service and make sure abortion and sexual health is prioritized during a time of crisis.

@TheYPFoundation Love Matters stepped in and arranged for an exclusive #DoctorSeCharcha series on safe abortion for women in rural areas. 3/5 #safeabortionforeveryone
@TheYPFoundation It was important for women to know their rights and also understand how important it is to detect pregnancy in the early stages to have access to a self-managed abortion at home (under the guidance of a doctor on call/consultation). 2/5 #safeabortionforeveryone
@TheYPFoundation In today’s uncertain times, especially when the CoronaVirus Pandemic struck and everyone was confined to their homes, access to information and a safe abortion became difficult. 1/5

@TheYPFoundation While adolescent sexuality is already stigmatised, we realise that with no sex-ed or support - the experience of getting an abortion as a minor is even more fraught with stigma. (2/2) #SafeAbortionForEveryone #InternationalSafeAbortionDay #SafeAbortionRegardless #ISAD #28Sept
@TheYPFoundation Here's a story from Akhil about a friend seeking abortion when they were in high school (1/2):

@TheYPFoundation The language used in the framework of the latest amendment of the MTP act uses the word “pregnant women”, thus excluding trans persons/non-cis-gendered females by the language of omission. Read more about it here - https://t.co/Br2mWfVtpD #safeabortionforeveryone
@TheYPFoundation This may make it tough for adolescent girls seeking abortions for various reasons. It can also make it difficult for health care professionals to provide any sexual health counselling or services to adolescents, even in times of crisis. 5/5 #safeabortionforeveryone
@TheYPFoundation the MTP Act makes it mandatory for doctors to maintain the privacy and confidentiality of the woman seeking an abortion, but this clause may clash with the POCSO act, which makes it compulsory to report any sexual activity involving minors to the police.#safeabortionforeveryone
2. The law is still doctor-centric and does not recognize the bodily autonomy and choice of the pregnant person. We need more person-centric laws rather than service provider-centric.

@TheYPFoundation @RightsPratigya @yanaanetwork @AgentsofIshq @tarshingo @Hidden_Pockets @lovemattersinfo @SAAFfund The gendered language to define the abortion seeker needs to change. This limits the ability of any individual to see themselves beyond the understanding of their body going beyond moral and social norms.

@TheYPFoundation Also in pregnancies with suspected foetal abnormalities beyond 20 weeks, a government medical board will decide if a woman can get an abortion, which means decision-making now moves from the woman and her doctor to a third party - a medical board. 3/5 #safeabortionforeveryone
1. Gender inclusivity - Transgender people are excluded from the law. The need for inclusive language. Although the word husband has been replaced with partner in the recent amendment, the law is still not gender-inclusive.
#safeabortionforeveryone
@TheYPFoundation This means that any woman who does not fall into these categories would not be able to seek an abortion beyond 20 weeks, even if she has a valid reason (such as a grave injury) and wishes to get an abortion. 2/5 #safeabortionforeveryone
@TheYPFoundation Also, although the proposed amendment increases the gestational limit for legal abortion from 20 to 24 weeks, it is only for specific categories such as survivors of rape, victims of incest and minors. 1/5 #safeabortionforeveryone
When access to general healthcare is limited due to different identities, abortion is also bound to be limited.

Similar to gender; caste, disability & race are often used to define people. Access to abortion means access to universal healthcare for all.

@TheYPFoundation As the stories collected by Love Matters from the ground reveal, the information and access gap to a safe abortion has become much wider for abortion seekers with marginalized identities. 5/5 #safeabortionforeveryone #abortion
@TheYPFoundation Even the 18-year-old ‘Sonam’ and her parents were told that abortion for unmarried women was illegal and was advised to get a ‘quiet procedure’ done at a private clinic. https://t.co/sljlDArF7L 4/5 #safeabortionforeveryone
