Yes, it is true that unsafe abortions are a critical issue affecting the reproductive and maternal health of women in India.

Unsafe abortions are the ones which are not done under the guidance of the respective doctors and there is no paperwork.

Reasons:

1. Proper Healthcare: Either proper healthcare is not available to all or is expensive to be used by the poor.
2. Sex education: Young adults in India are not taught about the practices of safe sex and there is a lot of shame around the same.
3. Laws: One of the primary causes of unsafe abortions is restrictive laws and policies surrounding abortion access. When legal barriers prevent individuals from accessing safe and legal abortion services, they may resort to unsafe methods out of desperation.
4. Judgement: Fear of judgement may lead individuals to move towards the unsafe procedures which may put the health of the woman at risk. There is  a huge stigma around abortion in India.

Remedial Measures:

1. Sex Education: There needs to be a proper system which ensures that the youngsters are taught about safe sex practices such as contraceptives, consent etc. which will help to not lead to a situation like this.
2. Contraceptives: By ensuring that individuals have access to a wide range of contraceptive methods, we can empower them to take control of their reproductive choices and reduce the risk of unintended pregnancies.
3. Better Laws: Laws that would help the individuals to not feel judged and take help from the right authorities.
