Two grave abortion cases

The Korea Times / The Christian Post

In South Korea, an obstetrician was sentenced to three years and six months in prison for killing a baby who ‘burst out crying’ during abortion procedures.

The Seoul Central District Court convicted Dr Yun of killing a 34-week-old baby and suspended Yun’s medical licence for three years. Medical staff consistently said they heard the baby crying before it was killed by being put in a bucket of water. The mother of the baby was just 16 years old.
