Two grave abortion cases

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.

In 2019, the Constitutional Court ruled that the law banning abortion was unconstitutional and demanded the National Assembly revise it by the end of 2020.
