We use ‘pregnant person’ as genders other than women can also experience pregnancy: Indian Supreme Court

“The 22-page judgement, authored by Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud, uses the expressions pregnant person or persons 42 times (including once in footnote) while adjudicating a matter pertaining to the termination of pregnancy of a 14-year-old girl who was sexually assaulted.

By its April 29 order, a three-judge bench presided by CJI Chandrachud recalled its earlier order allowing a 14-year-old rape survivor to terminate her almost 31-week pregnancy. This came after her parents expressed concerns about her health in light of the inherent dangers of carrying out the procedure in an advanced pregnancy.”
