Contraception and Abortion Care FAQs
Is abortion legal in India?
Yes. Under the MTP Act, abortion is legal up to 20 weeks (and up to 24 weeks in specific situations). Medical abortion is safe and legal up to 7–9 weeks.
How is emergency contraception different from abortion pills?
Emergency contraception prevents pregnancy before it starts. Abortion pills end an already confirmed pregnancy.

Can I get a same-day appointment?
In most cases, yes—especially for emergency contraception or early medical abortion. We prioritise timely access to critical care.
