South Korea Confronts Open Secret of Abortion - NYTimes.com - http://www.nytimes.com/2010...
Another installment in the NYT's long look at the ugly side of South Korea: "In a country where abortion is both widespread and, with few exceptions, against the law, Dr. Choi and Dr. Shim are hoping to force South Korea’s first serious public discussion of the ethics of the procedure. In November, they and dozens of other obstetricians held a news conference to ask “forgiveness” for having performed illegal abortions." - Christopher Chung
