Mumbai 12-year-old Pregnant

A Mumbai 12-year-old whose family has discovered that she is 27 weeks pregnant is planning to ask the Supreme Court for permission to abort. Late last month, a 10-year-old rape survivor was refused an abortion by the top court because doctors said it would be a threat to her life; she is eight months pregnant.

Raped and impregnated at 12, but she has to wait to see if the Supreme Court will allow her to abort as she is in her 27th week, once again putting the focus on termination of pregnancy post 20 weeks. The pregnancy came to light on Wednesday.
