Female Celebrities Show Support For Overturn Of Law Banning Abortion

Apr 12, 2019
Female celebrities have voiced their support for Korea’s revised abortion law.
On April 11, the Korean Constitutional Court ruled that the current law banning abortion except in certain cases is unconstitutional and determined that it is unconstitutional to punish a woman for having an abortion or a doctor for performing an abortion.
Later that day, Sulli shared the hashtag “April 11, 2019, abortion ban will be overturned,” and also remarked, “It is an honorable day! Choice for all women.”
Jaurim’s Kim Yoon Ah tweeted, “Sisters, congratulations! I love you!”
Actress Son Soo Hyun shared on her Instagram, “Something obvious has finally come to be. Abortion being illegal is now unconstitutional. Hooray! Congratulations to all women, you have all worked hard!” along with the hashtag, “Legalize abortion.”
She continued, “Director Agnes Varda’s ‘One Sings, the Other Doesn’t’ (1976). The first time I watched this film was coincidentally the same day my friend participated in a protest to abolish the ban on abortion. The voices of the woman who sang and the woman who didn’t sing in 1976 have held true until today. It has been this long.”

아녜스 바르다 감독의 '노래하는 여자, 노래하지 않는 여자(1976)'. 이 영화를 처음 본 날은 공교롭게도 친구가 낙태죄 폐지를 촉구하는 검은시위에 참여하고 온 날이었다. 1976년 노래하는 여자와 노래하지 않는 여자의 목소리는 오늘까지도 토시 하나 틀리지 않고 유효했다. 이렇게 오래 됐다.
