In a deadly display of defiance, 125 women in South Korea swallowed abortion drugs in protest of the country’s pro-life laws.
Korea Bizwire reports the protest took place Sunday in front of the Bosingak Pavilion in Seoul, South Korea. According to the report, 30 additional women took vitamins so that authorities would not be able to tell which women took the illegal abortion drugs.
Wearing black, they demanded that the government legalize the killing of unborn babies. The pro-abortion group claimed 125 women abort their unborn babies illegally every day in South Korea, according to the report.
Here’s more from the report:
Thirty other female participants took vitamin pills instead, as they are not discernible from the abortion pills, a move to protect the women who took Mifegyne during the demonstration, as such pills are currently outlawed. …
The women stated that “abortion is not taboo or sin” and that society punishes women by linking abortion to promiscuity and single women.
“Abortion is the most commonly performed surgery in the world and normal women choose to get abortions for various reasons,” continued the activists.
“Being able to get an abortion is a basic right for women.”
They also urged the government to make abortion drugs legal and easily available, according to the report.
However, the drugs are dangerous and can be deadly to the mother as well as her unborn baby. Complications from abortion drugs include excessive bleeding, infection, incomplete abortion requiring surgery and death of the woman. A Food and Drug Administration report in 2017 found that 22 women died, more than 1,000 were hospitalized and nearly 600 experienced severe blood loss that required transfusions after taking the abortion drugs in the United States.

Abortion activists have been pushing to repeal South Korea’s 59-year ban on abortions in response to the rising number of single mothers in their society, UCA news reports. In February, they submitted a petition to the government calling for legalized abortion on demand.
Currently, abortions are illegal except in cases of rape, incest, severe genetic disorders or risks to the mother’s health.
Even with the fervent campaigning against the pro-life law, South Korea has experiencing a surge of pro-life activism. It witnessed its first annual March for Life in 2012, pushing to eradicate the exceptions for abortions and restore protections for all unborn babies.
Pro-lifers also urged the government to install nation-wide baby boxes, with a similar intent as the United States’ safe haven laws, to combat the widespread problem of infant abandonment.
The Rev. Lee Jong-rak led by example when he installed South Korea’s first baby box in his home in 2009, which since has sheltered and saved the lives of at least 60 newborns.
Ping.
Breathtaking evil.
I can’t even begin to understand the machinations required to stage this event, if true.
I sensed a great disturbance in The Force. :(
Seems that the Koreans cut down the TREES in 1938 after Japan invaded and made laws for them NOT to cut down trees, to preserve the forests.
‘Breathtaking evil.’
by all means, let’s allow women to run the world...
Mother: I disagree with a government policy, so my dear son (or daughter), I am now going to murder you.
Child: Gee, thanks, mom.

I remember about 20 years ago one of Hitlery ‘s feminist supporters called for mass castrations.
The massacre of the younglings was when I lost complete interest in Lucas’ Star Wars pre/sequels.
Satan is getting desperate.

An American filmmaker did a documentary about Rev. Lee after reading am article about his work saving abandoned babies. The filmmaker converted to Christianity after he was done. The documentary has gotten numerous accolades.

“‘Breathtaking evil.’

I can’t agree enough. Stunning, really. Leaves you speechless.

I went to Japan on a business trip about 20 years ago. On the weekend I hopped a train and got out of Tokyo for some sight seeing. I think it was Kamakura we went to visit one of the ‘Big Buddhas’. I was surprised that at all the temples there were places where people (mostly women) were lighting candles or incense, praying, and leaving Buddha statues or some other trinkets. Thousands of such ‘offerings’. Came to find out later that this was a way for women to grieve and pray over their aborted babies. Strange culture.
South Korea also has one of the highest suicide rates for young women in the industrialized world.
Amazing story!
Thank you for sharing!

It never leaves you. Even they know what they’ve done. Don’t know the teachings of Buddha very well but feel pretty sure even he felt murder was wrong.
Protest murder? That is a new one.
So when do I get to protest liberalism by killing a liberal? Is there a pill for that?
Oh you win the internet today
It probably never leaves the ones who choose to abort, but it was also a shock to realize that all those ‘cute’ little statues and offerings (10’s of thousands of them) each represented an aborted child. Unknowing tourists, including myself at the time, taking pictures in front of these places thinking it makes a nice picture. Sad in retrospect.
Satan is getting desperate.
Indeed. He knows his time is short!
