[News NIGHT] "I'm a prince and a princess".I'm telling you the gender of the fetus 32 weeks ago.

'Please decorate the baby room in pink.' 'Prepare blue clothes."

This is what I hear in the hospital before and after 20 weeks of pregnancy.

Until now, I had no choice but to tell you around like this.

This is because it has been illegal to clearly inform fetal gender 32 weeks ago, but it is now possible.

Current law prohibits medical personnel from informing the sex of the fetus until 32 weeks before pregnancy.

In the past, when only boys were valued, it was created to prevent girls from having abortions.

But in February, the Constitutional Court decided that this clause was against the Constitution.

This is because the preference for boys has declined and the gender imbalance has been resolved.

It also said that fetal information, including gender, is a right for parents to know.

Even the doctor who told me wasn't punished.As a follow-up to the
constitutional decision, the National Assembly passed a bill that would allow the unborn child to be informed 32 weeks ago.

Now you can ask your gender regardless of the number of weeks you're pregnant, and the doctor who told you is not punished.

Netizens generally welcomed the passage of the bill, saying that it has been a long time since the preference for boys disappeared, and that it would be good to prepare in advance if the exact gender of the fetus was known.
