The Supreme Court's recent reaffirmation of reproductive autonomy, particularly for minors, against medical paternalism is praised. While the MTP Act and its amendments expanded abortion rights, recent rulings have seen courts prioritize foetal viability over a woman's choice, creating tension. The author highlights the CJI-led bench's call for Parliament to revise the framework, stressing dignity and potentially removing gestational limits for rape survivors. A rights-based legislative structure, presuming reproductive autonomy with medical oversight as a safeguard, is advocated. This approach aims to guide doctors, prevent delays, and ensure the law doesn't exacerbate the difficulty of such profound decisions.
