This paper aimed to document poor, rural-women's experience of abortion in a backward part of the Bokaro district in Jharkhand. The paper highlights the total lack of accessible, affordable and safe abortion services. The study also shows that in a system dominated by private practitioners, abortion care becomes a lucrative source of profit and women's overall health and well-being is a low priority.
