December 23, 2020 – The Facebook page “Kao Klai Party” posted a discussion on criminal law. Paving the way for women to safe pregnancy termination By Thanyawat Kamolwongwat, Kao Klai’s parliamentary party list, since 2005, there have been 27,000 – 32,000 cases of unsafe abortion per year. Up to 20-35 cases per year, the council has to raise this matter to solve the problem. So as not to be ambiguous, what will it do wrong or will it be right? Help or not Because the longer the day, the more it will not affect the stakeholders This is the voice of the people The problem of women and doctors, as in the case of Khun Sri Samai Race, who was the director of a hospital and was a doctor in the network of volunteers to terminate a medical legal pregnancy. She was prosecuted for the crime of spontaneous abortion by the woman she consented, then she presented a case before the Constitutional Court to decide that Is the Penal Code a crime of unconstitutional abortion?
On February 19, 2020, the Constitutional Court ruled that the penal code is unconstitutional. It is time for society to realize together that we cannot close our eyes on the issue, and this is the power of legislators to solve it.
Thanyawat Kamolwongwat analyzes the draft amendment to the Penal Code Law (No. ..) BE … with the essence of amending the offense to terminate pregnancy or abortion together with the bill. Council of Ministers proposed According to the principles and justification of the cabinet project The distant party agreed. But some details may be missing. What is the basis of important thoughts that are not in the text Rather, it is a conceptual basis that results in the draft having results that do not cover the problem. Because the termination of pregnancy is an existing problem in Thai society. But it is under the rug that people in society, including women, do not know and do not understand. When you cannot get up and speak on the table Therefore, we cannot question the situation that is presented.
Thanyawat said the major problem in the past is the ambiguity that causes doctors to help women terminate their pregnancy. What follows is a criminal case. Eventually, the situation paved the way for the sale of illegal abortion pills online. The woman could not know if the drug is safe or not. And the fact is that up to 20-35 women die each year, according to the National Health Security Office (NHSO), a high figure that Thai society should not be blindfolded or overlooked. Let’s go
For details on the elements of the law What is the difference of the cabinet laws of the kingdom? The time limit for termination of pregnancy is 12 weeks, so there will be no crimes. Meanwhile, the Kao Klai Party suggested that the non-criminal time limit should be 24 weeks.
“Before we discuss the timing The first thing to understand is that no woman intends to get pregnant. Have an abortion and no one enjoys abortion.”
According to statistics, termination of pregnancy after 12 weeks is
13 – 16 weeks 13%
17 – 22 weeks 12%
23 – 28 weeks 4.5%
And more than 0.5%
That, if evaluated from According to the data that women have 300,000 spontaneous abortions a year, the 12-week calendar will leave many more women incurring illegal, dangerous and unsafe abortions.
“There are several reasons for terminating a pregnancy after 12 weeks. And it is the reason why many of you cannot wait, as contraception was not successful. No money for abortions Abortion, using illicit drugs and thinking about abortion But did not have a miscarriage until 12 weeks or even The man left A man has another woman. The man is married Man addicted to drugs Man in prison Unemployed, has no money to support Pregnancy is an obstacle to professional practice, etc. Therefore, the rights of women and the fetus are discussed. It may not be enough as presented by the draft CMS because the concept of the forward-looking part is consistent with the actual situation that is the problem. Under the concept of women’s rights The embryo and women’s security “
Thanyawat further discussed that On embryo issues A clear medical indication of that period if it occurs before 28 weeks it is considered a miscarriage and after 28 weeks it is considered a miscarriage. Also, the part that the draft Kao Fai Party sees as different from the Cabinet body is gender equality. Freeing women from stigmatization Therefore, he revised the aforementioned body in the word ‘woman’ to be ‘person’ because you can know that When there is something like this Society will have some pre-made words, such as “spoiled, unconscious , reserved “,” born and pity of a child, it really turns out to be a child without a father “. There will be another word ready, “What? Go have an abortion, my mother Jai Yak”, but what is missing is The ‘people who make pregnant women’ are not stigmatized by society.
The Adelante Party does not support abortion. But the key goal is to keep women safe. And you must continue to question whether what can we do to reduce the dangers of abortion? We are all in society Including the design of the state equality policy If the issue of “gender” is not mentioned, the abortion rate for women cannot be reduced. And it still gets women involved in abortion anyway. There are a number of reasons why a woman decides to terminate a pregnancy, including the cost of reality. Middle income level, prenatal care including delivery from 50 thousand to 100 thousand baht, equipment for newborns from 30,000 to 50,000 baht and monthly expenses from 5 thousand to 10 thousand baht or among low-income people in the service of OHS. G. Maternity fee 1 thousand baht, child support 600 baht, not face-to-face Free education is not true. There is still a cost for clothing, snacks, travel expenses, or even young pregnant teens. Will society accept it? Or gossip Humiliate Until he had to drop out of school Don’t think these issues are not relevant. This is because there are many reasons why women decide to have an abortion.
Therefore, the advanced party has changed the word ‘woman’ to ‘person’ so that society does not label women. As mentioned, we must understand that women do not enjoy abortion. But there are many factors that make them make decisions. And that abortion is the last solution chosen. If we think about helping women Setting the conditions for only 12 weeks did not solve the problem. We have to set a time limit of 24 weeks because we have to consider security. And seek measures to promote equality for women Reduce the rate of abortions in the future Give women a choice Not in the current situation
“In a male-dominated society that defines the role and function of oppressive women, we have to make a lot of changes in society. Pregnancy, women have to study without shame. We need a child allowance of 1,800 baht a month on the entire page. The Adelante Party has a policy to increase the birth rate. Speaking of the children’s center And the employment rate of two hundred thousand positions that want women to have children and guarantee their safety. Stop stigmatizing women Keeping women safe Let’s come together to solve their problems, ”said Thanyawat.
