Question Description
Directions: Read the passage and answer the question that follows.The Supreme Court has delivered a seminal judgment that could have a significant impact in enlarging and expanding womens reproductive rights in the country. The apex court bench comprising Justices DY Chandrachud, Surya Kant and AS Bopanna said that all women — whether married or in consensual relationships, and including "persons other than cis-gender women" — are entitled to seek an abortion within 20-24 weeks of the pregnancy. The bench was hearing the case of a 25-year-old unmarried woman, whose plea for termination of her pregnancy in the 24th week was turned down by a division bench of the Delhi High Court on the ground that the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Rules, 2003, did not extend to unmarried women in consensual relationships.In a country where the womans body has, more often than not, been a site of the patriarchy index, the Supreme Courts recognition of her right to equality and, equally significantly, to her agency and choice, is momentous. In recent times, in comparison to many other countries, including the US — where the landmark Roe vs Wade judgment granting constitutional validity to the right to abort was recently overturned — abortion laws in India have moved in a more progressive direction, but much more needs to be done. Under Section 312 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, abortion remains a criminal offence, to which the MTP Act provides exceptions, and, even within the wider ambit of the much-needed recent amendments to the law, it continues to adhere to hetero-patriarchal structures that make the approval of others integral to abortion-related services and do not recognise a broader gender spectrum.[Extracted with edits and revisions from Editorials, The Indian Express]Q.What is the main subject matter discussed in the passage?a)The recent overturning of abortion laws in the United Statesb)The recognition of womens reproductive rights by the Supreme Court in Indiac)The enforcement of Section 312 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860d)The history of abortion laws in IndiaCorrect answer is option 'B'.
