South Korea's Medication Abortion Rules Too Restrictive, Watchdog Says
Original: South Korea: Medication Abortion Rules Too Restrictive
Human Rights Watch says South Korea's regulations on medication abortion are too restrictive, limiting access to a safe method of ending pregnancy despite abortion being decriminalized in the country. The group argues the rules fall short of the 2019 Constitutional Court ruling that struck down the abortion ban, and calls on the government to loosen restrictions so women can obtain the pills legally and safely.
Why now: Human Rights Watch has just published a critical report on South Korea's abortion access rules, drawing fresh attention to the gap between decriminalization and actual availability.
