The debate about abortion is expressed by the conflict between two ideals: the right to life of a fetus and the right to self-determination of a woman. However, recent controversy on abortion in Korean society suggests that women should be free from pregnancy and childbirth by seeking alternatives to the alienation phenomenon. In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to secure the subjectivity of women and build a social infrastructure in the area of pregnancy and childbirth. Liberalization of abortion without ensuring the subjectivity of women can lead to repression of women. To solve this problem, listening to a woman"s voice should be preceded. In addition, Pro-life and Pro-Choice should listen to each other"s wishes to protect the fetus and women and make efforts to reduce abortion. The urgent improvement plan is to increase life - centered contraceptive education, establish a crisis pregnancy counseling center, to restrict the punishment of the criminal law to women only and to amend the consent of the spouse and related procedural provisions in the Maternal and Child Health Law. Through this, I hope that the abortion discourse in Korea will expand the mutual understanding of both sides and strengthen the efforts to create a women - centered policy.
