Menstrual therapies in commonwealth Asian law

Abstract

Abstract Under English law, acting with the intention to procure an abortion whether a woman is pregnant or not is a crime. Laws in Commonwealth Asia governing abortion apply only in cases where a woman is clearly pregnant. Accordingly, menstrual therapies are available without violating abortion laws, or having to comply to their conditions. This permits doctors under such laws to exercise considerable discretion in recourse to menstrual therapies.
