Previously, at the end of June, a woman posted a video on her YouTube channel showing that she underwent an abortion surgery at 36 weeks of pregnancy, sparking controversy. Since the Constitutional Court ruled the abortion law unconstitutional in April 2019, abortion itself is no longer illegal under criminal law; however, if medical staff caused the death of the baby after removing it from the mother's body, murder charges can be applied.
