The murder investigation into a South Korean vlogger who claimed to have aborted her pregnancy at 36 weeks has horrified the country, and immediately raised urgent questions over why it has no abortion laws.

Is abortion really possible at this stage of pregnancy?

At nine months, it is not considered an option for abortion either legally or medically. At this stage, the fetus is fully developed, already viable. Many legal systems allow abortions only up to a certain point in pregnancy, that is, the first or early second trimester, up to 20-24 weeks, unless there are extreme medical circumstances where the mother's life is in grave danger.
In the nine months of a full-term pregnancy, only the medical interventions concerning labour and delivery are considered. The presence of severe complications would lead to a focus on saving both the mother and the baby whenever possible.

Whenever the pregnancy has reached nine months, the doctors mostly go through an emergency delivery either by natural birth or through a C-section if complications have worsened. This is a period when the baby is fully developed, and all means are put in place for its survival, including the mother's life.
Abortions at this stage are sporadic, as the majority of the countries outlaw it with the exception of certain medical cases, which would include life-threatening conditions to the mother or if the baby has abnormality issues that were undetected previously. Medical experts do it to save lives in those extreme cases while keeping in mind the legal and ethical consideration too.

The laws and regulations relating to abortions are extremely different according to the country, region, and specific situation. If you or someone else is experiencing a complicated pregnancy, then it is necessary to consult with a health care provider-one who, through medical knowledge, ethical consideration, and legal framework, can advise accordingly.
Healthcare providers do consider all the options and go in for a detailed diagnosis to decide on the best course of action regarding late pregnancy complications. The health and safety of the mother and the baby would always remain the number one concern of doctors. However, conditions such as but not limited to preeclampsia, placental abruption, or other severe life-threatening complications may be the reason that doctors suggest an emergency delivery instead of going for an abortion, as the baby would already have reached full term.

Fetal abnormalities found later in pregnancy are normally managed by planning the delivery of the baby, together with specialized care, considering the type of abnormality. Sometimes, the baby is expected to go through immediate medical intervention or long-term postnatal care. These decisions are made with sensitivity by the medical professionals and parents themselves, considering all options.
