Adding more information

Hello! I am adding more information regarding the history of abortion in India. I will be leaving the vast majority of the article untouched. If there are any questions, please let me know!Scb3 (talk) 07:21, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm having trouble understanding the first sentence in the "1971 and beyond" subsection. Otherwise, great addition to the topic! Rachelpop- (talk) 15:33, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'll reword that. I can see why it's awkward. Thanks!Scb3 (talk) 05:40, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Separate article for legislation

This article is long, unwieldy to edit, and somewhat unreadable and hard to navigate, in my opinion. Legislation over abortion in India is vast (spanning over 50 years, amendments, and regulations under it), so it could be split into a separate article. I hope we discuss it here. -- Rohini (talk) 07:43, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the article is too long, would need some kind of split.

The article mostly consists of historical legislation and present. IMO there can be an article about Historical development of Abortion legislation in India. Main article can have primacy for present applicable laws and jurisprudence.
