India has some of the most balanced laws with respect to abortion, India has a no-no about abortion in the 3rd trimester, which is bec that might well be taken as the beginning of life. We need to create awareness about the RU486 morning after pill, distribute condoms and birth control to incoming college students and in some high schools whenever possible. moreover we should enact strict laws that prohibit housing discrimination against single mothers (and actually also for other marginalized groups like gay couples). And most importantly, there should be sex education as a compulsory part of the curriculum. I remember being forced into this rubbish called "SUPW" in school that never helped in anything. We could easily have devoted the time to something meaningful and important that impacts society at large. A good model would also be to open "Planned Parenthood" style abortion clinics the way the US has. And finally, a law must be enacted that forces pharmacists to stock emergency contraception.
