[Asia Economy Reporter Ryu Jeong-min] The Blue House stated that the issue of maintaining the abortion law, which has faced some opposition within the ruling party, was confirmed through inter-ministerial meetings. It emphasized that the legislation is not being carried out according to the Blue House's will, but is the result of gathering opinions from relevant ministries.


A senior Blue House official told reporters on the 8th, "(Media reports) said the Blue House's will was strong, but since that is a subjective expression, I will not argue about it," adding, "If the strong will means pushing through against the ministries' intentions, that is not true."



The senior Blue House official said, "The abortion law legislation was confirmed through inter-ministerial meetings," and added, "Both fetal life and women's right to self-determination are important values."
