In 2021, around 27 percent of legal abortions performed in South Korea took place between the 16th and 20th week of pregnancy. A similar share took place within eight weeks of pregnancy. While abortion was decriminalized in 2021, there were some legal exceptions prior to that, such as in cases of rape or due to serious health concerns.
