South Korean vlogger investigated for murder after claiming 36-week abortion amid legal vacuum.

South Korean authorities are investigating a vlogger for murder after she claimed to have had an abortion at 36 weeks, highlighting the nation's lack of abortion laws.

Critics argue that the government should focus on improving access to abortion care rather than pursuing legal action against women.
