Abortion in Asia: Beyond Taboo

Abortion is the talk of the United States right now as the
Supreme Court prepares to release a decision that could overturn
Roe v. Wade, the case that enshrined abortion rights nationally.
But what's happening in the places where abortion is a quieter
conversation? What about the state of reproductive rights in
Asia?


This episode, we survey the laws and attitudes regarding abortion
in Asia. We place special attention on four countries: China,
Indonesia, India and Japan. Our reporters Marrian Zhou, Ismi
Damayanti and Kiran Sharma fill us in, while host Waj Khan and
producers Alice French, Monica Hunter-Hart and Jack Stone Truitt
guide the story.
