CORRECTION NOTE: Starting at 10:12, we wrongly stated the categories of women who were required to go for pre-abortion counselling before April 17, 2015. It should be that these categories of women were NOT required to go for pre-abortion counselling before April 17, 2015. We are very sorry for the error.
