The Supreme Court has questioned the validity of a prescription provided by a pregnant woman seeking an abortion. The court has directed the medical board of AIIMS to examine the effects of the medicines taken by the woman on the fetus. The court has also allowed the medical board to independently evaluate the woman s mental and physical condition. The woman has refused to reconsider her decision to terminate the 26-week-old fetus. The court has adjourned the matter to Monday for further discussion.
