South Korea has very restrictive abortion laws and abortion is generally only permitted for one of the following reasons:
- To save the life of the mother
- If the pregnant women or her spouse suffer from a communicable disease, or a hereditary physical or mental disease (specified by Presidential Decree)
If the pregnancy is the result of rape or an act of incest
