Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) or induced abortion is a method to get rid of unwanted pregnancies. The Government of India legalised MTP in 1971 with strict conditions to avoid misuse . While periodic abstinence (abstaining from day 10-17) is a valid natural method , it is not typically categorised under 'legal methods' in the context of legislative acts like the MTP Act. Premature ejaculation is not a birth control method; the correct method is Coitus interruptus (withdrawal) .
