The comparative analysis of the abortion rights in Japan and Poland

What happened with the abortion rights in comparative analysis between Japan and Poland? It seems that unlike Japan, Poland is a country with one of the most restrictive anti-abortion rights. In the case of Japan, abortion became legal in 1948; in Poland, the anti-abortion right from 1993 was considered as a “compromise” between different groups, as permitted an abortion in limited circumstances. Although substantial changes toward the liberalization of the abortion law, Japan still faces challenges for the women rights as well as in the case of Poland. A comparative approach will contribute to better understanding of complex socio-historical backgrounds of abortion rights in two different societies. This will help to address more suitable public policies towards women’s rights.
