A coalition of medical professionals, pro-life advocates, and the director of the Catholic Institute of Bioethics held a press conference in Seoul, Korea on Wednesday to "slam the South Korean government's move to review the possible legalization of abortion pills, emphasizing protection of pregnant women and children," according to UCA News.
"The conference, organized by lawmaker Yoon Yong-geun and the National Alliance for Fetal and Women's Protection, condemned President Lee Jae-myung's July 14 directive ordering a review of legalizing abortion pills," the news outlet reported. "Lee had called this a realistic and pragmatic approach, saying women were already buying unauthorized drugs directly."
Father Park Eun-ho, director of the Catholic Institute of Bioethics, said instead of legalizing abortion pills, the government should crack down on illegal distribution.
