S. Korea,’s Constitutional Court to rule on validity of current abortion ban

South Korea's Constitutional Court is set to rule on the validity of the current abortion ban Thursday,... for just the second time in seven years. While the court ruled the abortion ban constitutional in 2012,... many within legal circles predict the decision could be different this time considering changes in the social awareness of gender equality. The current case was brought to court in 2017 by activists who say the abortion ban violates women's rights to happiness.
