The reality of abortion in korea is very serious. To solve abortion problems, we could recognize abortion is a trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder. It is necessary to recognize abortion as a social trauma, not a personal one. There is no question that life is precious, either pro-choice or pro-life. Abortion procedure is very dangerous. There is no safe abortion. Most abortions are performed depending on the experience and sense of the doctor, and can cause a number of side effects. The abortion is to kill the fetus, so women instinctively feel that abortion is murder. So she feel guilt. The guilt can eventually lead to a mental illness, loss, various interpersonal issues, and so on.
There is no reason to legalize abortion, which gives rise to severe trauma and aftereffects on women`s minds and bodies, and kills babies, and is not beneficial to anyone else`s. Abortions leave scars and aftereffects on biological mother, biological father, and communities they belong to, society. To allow abortion is to choose simple and violent way to solve the problem. We must make efforts to protect the rights to life, happiness and human rights of both babies and women. When we look at the process of abortion, it is not only for personal reasons, but also for social problems and community problems. Recognizing that abortion is a social pathology that threatens the well-being of everyone, we can effort together on a solution apart from attritional controversy.
A society that pushes women to choose abortion is a violent and uncivilized society. On the surface, it looks like a woman’s choice, but in reality, she is forced to abort. So this is social violence. Women are only victims of social and structural violence that is revealed by abortion.
It is not only the responsibility of a women or men, but also the responsibility of the community. The nation and society must prevent this tragedy before it is too late. By facing the truth of abortion and recognizing it as a social trauma, the problems of abortion should be overcome together rather than big conflict. The abortion therapy will be the first step in getting rid of various conflicts and pathology in our society and moving from a culture of death to a culture of life.
