They don’t kill the baby for the same reason the Indians never shoot the horses, you wouldn’t have a movie.

Abortion is almost never mentioned in an Asian film, and when it is it's almost always treated negatively. There was a somewhat sleazy film made in South Korea a few years ago called Sex is Zero. It's an American Pie type sex comedy. but in this case it ends somewhat dramatically as the main character (a female) learns that promiscuity leads to bad consequences. She ends up pregnant and the callous father won't take responsibility. Feeling pressured to abort, she tells him, in tears, that because of his attitude their baby is going to die.

In another South Korean film, My Sassy Girl, the lead character is a troubled young women who is going out of her way to humiliate her boyfriend. One of the things she does is tell his professor and a class full of students that she's pregnant with his baby and he's taking her for an abortion. Actually, she isn't pregnant and they've never even had sex, but the idea conveyed is that the worst possible thing she could say about him to make him look awful is to implicate him in an abortion.

Even back in 1958, when the Japanese film Tokyo Twilight depicted a rare on-screen abortion storyline, the abortion was shown to be humiliating and damaging. A girl abandoned by her boyfriend panics and gets an abortion. The abortionist is a sleazy looking, unkempt woman who treats her like a hooker. As she's waiting for the abortion, she hears some passing schoolchildren singing and tears up. Later, when she sees her sister's baby daughter, she breaks down completely, and ends up throwing herself in front of a train.

Abortions are just sleazy and there's no way to sanitize them.
