Dr. Su Yin-ning, a well-known obstetrician, has urged lawmakers to amend Taiwan's Eugenics Protection Act after sharing a case where a pregnant woman could not proceed with an abortion because her abusive and unfaithful husband was missing and could not provide consent. The current law requires spousal consent for abortion, leaving women in such situations unable to make decisions about their own bodies. Netizens and celebrities, like Ouyang Jing, have criticized the law for restricting women's autonomy over their reproductive choices and highlighting the issue of domestic violence. The call to action comes amidst growing concerns about women's rights and safety, urging individuals to seek help in cases of violence or abuse.
