SEOUL — South Korea announced a crackdown on abortionists as part of a drive to boost its low birthrate, a pressing issue in the rapidly ageing society.

The health ministry said it would establish a "call centre" on illegal abortion and informants would receive rewards.

Obstetricians involved in illegal abortion will be referred to prosecutors for criminal charges, it said.

An association of obstetrics and gynaecology also promised to expel members who do not follow government guidelines.

3. Typical men's solution

Pronatalist policies would include tax incentives, a bonus for every child past the first, state supported day care, and support for new mothers who want to stay home until the kid is in diapers.

Stupid, punitive solutions aren't solutions at all and women will continue to abort and it will continue to get more dangerous for them to do so as it goes farther underground.

If men don't want women to undo the work of their golden rods, then they have to give women an incentive not to. Punishment never works and antiabortion laws kill women as well as the fetuses they're carrying.
