As many of you know, Japan is one of the least developed country concerning abortion method as well as social environment surrounding women's health and rights.
Abortion pill has not been approved here, and D&C is the first choice for the Japanese "designated" abortion doctors even now.
There are only fewer choices of contraception for Japanese women.
Sex education is insufficient, though the youth can easily get obscene materials through the Internet.
Here in Japan the surgery costs huge, usually done without any informed choice nor counseling.
As well as in many other nations, abortion is still a big taboo in our society, deeply stigmatized by criminal law as well as pseudo-religious memorial services for the dead fetus.
However, my friends and I finally decided to bring up such deplorable Japanese situation as "abortion harassment" to the society. We are going have a an event at night on the day before the international safe abortion day.
Our slogan is "Nakuso abohara", meaning "let's abolish abortion harassment".
Please give us your support to bring safe abortion to Japan!
