The PC PND Act (Prohibition of Sex Selection Act, 2006) is legislation aimed at preventing misuse of prenatal diagnostic techniques.
The Act's central purpose is to prohibit the determination of the sex of a fetus for purposes of abortion.
This directly targets and aims to prevent practices involving sex selective abortion, where a fetus is aborted based on its predetermined sex.
Therefore, the primary focus of the PC PND Act is explicitly on preventing sex selective abortion.
