Lekhni has a good analysis of the Niketa Mehta case. She summarizes the case that has been causing controversy, lays out the arguments for and against the abortion, and presents her take:
1. Who is more important, the mother or the foetus? The crux is, can we force a mother to:
(i) carry an unwanted foetus to term, with possible medical complications to the mother during delivery or childbirth,
(ii) endure postpartum blues, and
(iii) post-birth, force her to care for an infant that she does not want, all this just because we believe the foetus is a living creature and is therefore considered a citizen?
