Dr..Amorn Kaewsai the coordinator of the RSA volunteer network RSA said that while the Constitutional Court is considering he asks that health personnel at all levels not be afraid to help women access safe medical abortions as well as reduce barriers to accessing such services and asks the police to focus on cracking down on illegal abortions and the sale of abortion pills online to reduce injuries and deaths of Thai women more than arresting medical personnel who provide safe pregnancy termination services under the conditions of the law and the regulations of the Medical Council There is clear evidence that the mortality rate from safe pregnancy termination is 300 times lower than illegal abortions
“The mentioned criminal law has been in use since B.E..2500 which stipulates the conditions for pregnancy termination only in cases of health necessity and when the pregnancy results from a criminal offense but it must be understood that the social and medical context at that time was very backward while today’s society has changed medicine has also advanced greatly therefore it is necessary to repeal or amend the law to be consistent with the current situation” Dr..Amorn said
