## Summary

A new bill to amend the Safe Motherhood Act has been proposed in Nepal, which would allow abortion for girls under 18 who become pregnant through rape or incest at any stage of pregnancy. The proposed changes would remove the existing 28-week limit, sparking concerns among medical professionals. The revised bill aims to address the issue of underage pregnancies resulting from non-consensual acts, but its implications for medical practice are being closely scrutinized.
