Abstract
During the recent years, there have been challenges surrounding the issue of abortion in the country (1-3). It seems that these tensions stem from the failure to consider the executive problems associated with the existing procedure to be followed for abortion. Screening and abortion therapy suffer certain shortcomings and problems that have not been dealt with yet, not due to wrong rules but because of inappropriate implementation and ignoring the medical ethics from the stage of screening to issuing the permit for abortion.
