AB - This paper introduces the struggle of the women’s movement for reproductive justice in South Korea and its entanglement with the insufficient response of the Korean Protestant Church. The paper examines why an individualistic approach to reproductive issues is insufficient by showing the multi-layered patriarchal symbols of reproduction that Korean Christians presuppose. Second, it places reproductive rights in the larger context of life politics in order to move beyond this individualistic approach. It also examines how the Protestant Church in South Korea has colluded with national biopolitics. Third, we show that this larger context of national biopolitics allows us to shift the framing of pro-life versus pro-choice to government versus women. Finally, it proposes to build a “broader pro-life framework” by taking down the cross of women who have had their reproductive rights taken away.
