Despite the centrality of abortion as an option for fertility control it remains severely under-studied partly due to the fact that it is illegal and socially unaccepted. The present study was conducted in a Punjabi village to understand those conditions which makes abortion an inevitable choice for women. The study relied on anthropological methods mainly through narrative interviews that were undertaken with sixty abortion seekers women. The field findings indicate that women decided to terminate their pregnancies for various reasons such as poverty, unintended, premarital and closely spaced pregnancies etc. The study suggests that women’s reproductive rights must be acknowledged and prioritized.
