Abortion rights supporters in Thailand called for improved access to legal abortion services, issuing a petition to Thossaporn Sereerak, a Pheu Thai MP for Phrae and member of the House Committee on Public Health.

 

The Tamtang Group, a prominent advocate for safe abortion, yesterday, February 7, expressed concerns over the difficulties pregnant women face when seeking legal abortions, despite recent changes in legislation, explained Supecha Baotip of the Tamtang Group.

 

“Although the law already allows for abortions, in practice women who experience an unwanted pregnancy and want access to safe abortion services find it difficult to access legal pregnancy termination services find it difficult to access legal pregnancy termination services. It is no different from when the law was amended in September 2022.”

Why be soft on them? ignore the ethics and they brought it on themselves. Consider the ethics, and the dilemmas are too serious, to be brushed aside with 'reproductive choice'

In Buddhism it is not allowed to take someones life... In most religions it is the same. However legal abortion in Thailand should be carried out, as the law allows it. If a doctor refuses because of his believe, there should be possibilities in some clinics around the country. The women have the right to end their pregnancy, as for many reasons, as rape, incest, violent husband or even not enough money.  Thailand should enter the 21st century and change the thinkings.. Unnecessary suffering should also be permitted. I believe there are no Gods that don't care about the wellbeing of the believers. They all want that everybody can have a happy and healthy life without suffering and pain.
