Police in India investigated a physical assault of a gynecologist on Saturday after he refused to abort a woman’s unborn baby.
India Daily News & Analysis reports Dr. Amol Bidkar, who runs a maternity hospital in Sangvi, India, sustained injuries on his right hand from the attack Saturday at his clinic.

Abortions are illegal after 20 weeks in India.
The violence of abortion against unborn babies often is connected to violence against other human beings, too. Pregnant women are abused and sometimes even killed by abusive partners who wanted them to abort their unborn babies. Pro-life advocates also face threats and violence for trying to save unborn babies and moms from abortion.
