The book views the inherent contradiction in India: it is considered as the land of ahimsa but, at the same time, it has legalised abortions and upholds them even as a way of family planning. In this very well researched work, Dr. Biju Michael, a professor of ethics who has published books in India and abroad, takes up concerns vis-à-vis the rampant practice of abortions in modern India. He discusses the socio-cultural, legal, economic and religious issues associated with this legalised killing. He calls for a rethinking of the public policy regarding abortion—a call backed by one of the largest surveys in the country among women who have experienced abortion.
