The Discovery of Knowledge: Is Opposition to Abortion Pill Mifepristone Really for Women's Health?... "This Neglected for 8 Years is More Dangerous" (ft. OB-GYN Oh Jung-won)

Discussions are heating up once again over the domestic introduction of the medical abortion pill, Mifepristone.

Although the drug is already used in 101 countries, it has failed to gain approval in South Korea, leading to numerous reports of it being distributed through underground channels.

With President Lee Jae-myung ordering measures to be drawn up, the discussions are gaining momentum.

Seven years have passed since the Constitutional Court ruled the anti-abortion law non-conforming to the Constitution, leaving medical abortion pills virtually neglected during this time. Can this lead to a different outcome now? SBS YouTube program The Discovery of Knowledge met with Dr. Oh Jung-won, an obstetrician-gynecologist and vice-chair of the women's committee at the Association of Physicians for Humanism, who consistently argues for the necessity of introducing Mifepristone even as the medical community largely expresses concerns over its introduction.
