HI All, here are my views on the matter. Please feel free to comment.
1. Being doctors, it might mean that Gauri and Jagya can be more careful in birth control, but it doesn't mean that they are superior to nature. Again, Gauri is a doctor, alright but that doesn't mean that she is foolproof against pregnancy. And I can say that even if they didn't take birth control, it's not that wrong. Because according to their lives a week ago, they were together. Maybe if no fight had happened, they would have welcomed this baby in the world?2. I think the decision to bring a child in this world is a personal decision of the parents. In this particular case, the father has already left the mother. Whatever be the reason for separation, however wrong Gauri was in her conduct, but the fact of the matter is that right now, Gauri is a single, pregnant lady, abandoned by her lover. So right now, the decision lies in her hand solely, to whether abort it or raise it.3. It's perfectly alright for a single woman to abort a baby. If she doesn't want the entire responsibility of a child on her shoulder, what's so wrong in that? She has the right to decide in life. If she had decided to raise the baby by herself, then also I would have said its a right decision. But at the end of the day, I respect the fact that Its HER DECISION TO CHOOSE if she is wants to take it up.4.Also, the child will be out of wedlock, with no father. Which woman would want to bring a child in such scenario? Imagine the condition of an illegitimate child without a father in country like India? Grandparents might help in raising the kid, but they can't give the child the love, name and protection of a father.So in this scenario, despite all Gauri's faults, I don't find any fault if she decides to abort the baby. BTW, if she had decided to keep the baby, then we would have all shouted that she is using the baby to get Jagya back. So its like a lose-lose situation for her.Whatever be the status of JaGa relation, however much Gauri has lied and manipulated, but I respect her decision.
Mansimat- Perfectly put. i completely agree with everything you say.@ Nmiks - It is a well documented fact which even priviliged upper class women like us should be aware of - most birth control devices depend on their use by men where condoms etc are concerned. Pills freely made available in general by government are not very good for women's health often, and many women are forced to stop using them after a while because of their side effects. Besides its not about their availablity - its about whether social pressures and norms allow you to use them in most cases . Women , again this is well documented , are often far too scared of husband/inlaws etc to use them in several contexts. The point is that women often turn into child bearing machines over here - often out of a family's instiable quest for a male child - bearing children one after another and are not allowed any reprieve. Many go for hidden unsafe abortions by village quacks . Under such circumstances many public health centres provide legal and medical counselling for them encouraging them to go ahead with it. Infact in case of accidental pregnancies which arise despite taking precautions , abortion is the only route.In any case that statement i had made to bring out the general case against abortion in a country like ours where women's reproductive rights are still controlled by a patriarchal family, society and morality despite laws. And it is ridiculous to say that those who become pregnant by carelssness or not using pills etc, want to play victims card. This is a deeply regressive and moralistic statement - because none of us can know when even the most careful people become pregnant accidentally.Nobody should force this choice on anyone . Even doctors can become victims of accidental pregnancies - as mansimat says "Being doctors, it might mean that Gauri and Jagya can be more careful in birth control, but it doesn't mean that they are superior to nature". And its ridiculous to say in a country suffering from a population explosion where millions of orphans, child beggars, street children live miserably - that one should jut go ahead and give birth in case of unwanted pregnancies and then give the child to families who want them !!!...who can gaurantee these ideal families under such circumstnces??Whether she wants to be a single mother or not or even a mother is a woman's choice and every woman has right to decide that without being judged in this manner ..
