INTRODUCTION
Abortion is a topic that has been widely explored at both the national and international levels. A worldwide debate has erupted over the subject. No one can agree on whether a pregnant woman has the right to end her pregnancy whenever she wants, or if an unborn child has the right to life.
The right to life encompasses a wide range of issues, and it is the most basic. "No individual shall be deprived of his life and personal liberty unless in accordance with process provided by law," states Article 21 of the Indian Constitution, which recognises the right to life of all Indians. Both sexes are included in the term "person." The right to abortion is one of the most important and basic rights that a woman has, according to some. As a component of the right to privacy, which is derived from the right to life, the right to abortion has been recognised. The right to abortion is governed by a variety of factors, including religious, ethical, moral, and legal ones.
In Dworkin's view, there is no interest shown by a foetus prior to the third trimester.2. Until later in pregnancy, a foetus does not experience pain because its brain has not yet matured adequately. According to experts, an infant's nervous system is ready to sense pain during the twenty sixth week.3.
Doctrinal methods are used in this study. Documentary research includes an examination of existing secondary material obtained from a wide variety of sources, such as books, papers, journals, and websites, and a comparison with the United States' liberal abortion laws and the way they are understood there.
