The doctors might go to prison for 99 years for performing any abortion activities. The law will only exempt those who detect any unborn child with serious anomaly. The doctors can continue abortion only if the pregnancy has health risk to the unborn child and the mother.
The government wants the families of young girls to help and educate them about pregnancy. If a victim of incest or rape is found pregnant, then she should seek mental and physical help from the doctor. They can also help her to gain justice. After the bill passed, many people are raising their voices to support the cause.
