New Delhi, July 25 (ANI): The Supreme Court on Monday permitted the termination of a 24-week-old pregnancy after medical reports said the foetus has severe abnormalities and it could gravely endanger the “mental and physical health” of the mother. The plea was by an alleged rape survivor and the SC considered the report of the Mumbai hospital medical board saying continuance of pregnancy would gravely endanger the mother’s life. The petitioner’s lawyer said that it was a case of “severe foetal deformity”, and that there was no chance of survival at all, according to doctors. He also said that it would have been grave to the health of the mother, in view to the Section 5 of the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act.
