Following an express order from Orissa High Court and the subsequent opinion from a medical board, doctors at SCB Medical College and Hospital here on Saturday medically terminated the pregnancy of a 14-year-old rape survivor, who was in the 23rd week of her pregnancy.
The High Court on Friday had directed the Superintendent of the referral hospital here to constitute a Board of three medical experts and examine the minor girl and go for medical termination of pregnancy “at the very earliest” if the Board suggests so, without waiting for any court orders.
