Today the Constitutional Court of Korea ruled the criminalization of abortion is unconstitutional. This means having an abortion is finally legal. The current law against abortion will have to be amended by the end of 2020.

"South Korea's Constitutional Court on Thursday ruled as unconstitutional a 66-year-old law that made abortion a crime punishable by up to two years in prison, calling for an amendment to the law. In its ruling, the court called the anti-abortion law 'an unconstitutional restriction that violates a pregnant woman’s right to choose.' But it left it to Parliament to decide whether to restrict abortions in the late stages of a pregnancy." - New YorkTimes
