    Abortion Headline - Dubai UAE

     
    Abortion is illegal in Dubai UAE and a number of women are travelling to Mumbai India for safe and legal abortion.
    A cleaner made a living performing abortions by giving women injections and tablets in return for nearly Dh1,000, a court heard this morning.

    MS, 32, from Bangladesh, is charged with performing two abortions illegally and practising medicine without a licence, prosecutors said.

    "I didn’t do it,” he told the Dubai Criminal Court of First Instance.

    According to records, NP, a 34-year-old Indonesian maid, fell in love with a man and had a child with him. When the baby was seven months old, she told prosecutors, she got pregnant again. Her lover, who is identified in records as R and is at large, told her about MS and suggested that he help her abort the pregnancy.

    “This is true, I'm guilty,” NP told the court while holding her two-year-old child.

    She said MS visited her and gave her two injections and five tablets. Five hours after taking them, she said she felt severe pain in her back and abdomen, and the pregnancy was aborted. She paid MS Dh1,000, records show.

    Many of the expat population are flying to countries where abortion is legal. The most convenient country to fly is India.

    A number of airlines fly to Mumbai everyday and ticket cost are economical. A number of legal abortion centers are available for abortions.

    One of the reputed centers is the Family hospital located in the western suburb of Mumbai India. The center is a safe and legal center. They have a team of professional doctors and caring nurses to take care of the complete spectrum of medical and surgical abortions.

    They have a 24/7 helpline which takes care of any questions women may have about abortion pregnancy and adoptions.

    They also have a travel department to take care of all ticketing and visa formalities which can be a formidable job at times of crisis when time is important.
