Bangkok Post: Activists act on resolving abortions:
A women's network has converged on Government House to present a list of recommendations to help solve the problems of unwanted pregnancies and illegal abortions.
The network, formed by 49 organisations working with women's issues, said yesterday more than 300,000 unwanted pregnancies were reported each year. Among this group, 16% said they chose to have an illegal abortion which put them at risk of health problems or even death.
Each year the government had to spend 300 million baht on medical treatment to help women who had abortions to recover, the group said in a letter. . . .
