This is a story of my experience with abortion as an expat in Busan, South Korea. I understand this is a controversial issue, and I am neither trying to encourage nor discourage abortion to other women. I simply want to use my story as an example of having this experience here and to provide other women with options and resources available to them. It is said that abortion is one of the loneliest experiences a woman can ever go through. I want women here to know that they are not alone, and have support.
BUSAN, South Korea -- At the time I lived in South Korea, abortion was (and may still be) illegal, but also a widespread procedure performed safely in cilics ad hospitals everywhere, with upwards of 350,000 abortions performed each year according to a government report. I had come across this information while researching Busan prior to my arrival. I took note with the hope that I would never find myself in such a situation.
