South Korea intends to authorize the use of abortion pills for the first time by next year. The government's decision is framed as an effort to enhance women's access to health and safety services, marking a significant shift in the nation's reproductive healthcare policy.

This development follows a 2019 Constitutional Court ruling that mandated the relaxation of the country's long-standing abortion restrictions. The upcoming approval is expected to further influence ongoing national debates regarding abortion access and regulation within South Korea.
