Abstract
This paper describes the modern and traditional methods and techniques used in induced abortion in Bangladesh, and the physiological problems faced by the abortion seekers. It observes that social prestige and economic security are the main issues associated with induced abortion. This paper also discusses the opinions people gave for and against induced abortion, and argues for partial liberalization of abortion laws in Bangladesh due to the failure of contraceptives.
