Which of the following country has approved first abortion pill in its history in April 2023?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Abortion is legal in Japan up to 22 weeks, but consent is usually required from a spouse or partner, and until April 2023 a surgical procedure had been the only option. The abortion pill is to become available in Japan for the first time after the health ministry approved in April 2023 a drug used to terminate early-stage pregnancies.
