:

Medical termination of preganancy (MTP) or abortion is the termination of pregnancy before the foetus becomes viable. MTP is comparatively safe upto 12 weeks (the first trimester) of pregnancy. It becomes more risky after the first trimester of pregnancy as the placenta develops and the foetus becomes intimately associated with the maternal tissues.
