Assemblyman Yoon Yong-geun Criticizes Abortion Drugs and Leveraged ETFs

Upon the government's official announcement of the phased introduction of the abortion drug mifepristone, a thorough review was urged through a government questioning session. The stance is that beyond merely permitting a single drug, the weighty issue of protecting both women suffering from unexpected pregnancies and the lives of fetuses must be addressed simultaneously.

It was pointed out that social and legal discussions and the establishment of safety measures must take precedence.

A particular problem identified was the lack of clear standards regarding the scope of legal responsibility for medical staff in case of side effects.

It was criticized as irresponsible administration to push for drug introduction without establishing a practical system for safety management.

It was pointed out that the term 'pregnancy termination' used by the government could lead to misunderstandings, suggesting that pregnancy could be paused and resumed later. Since taking mifepristone, an abortion drug, results in fetal death, it should be viewed as 'abortion' rather than 'termination'.

Concerns were expressed that euphemizing policy terms could hinder the public's essential understanding and dilute the seriousness of the matter.

The government's logic of legalizing abortion drugs to prevent their illegal distribution was criticized as contradictory. It was argued that if illegal distribution is the problem, strict enforcement and management are the correct solutions, and using this as a basis for legalization is a misguided approach.

It was pointed out that while drugs are also illegally distributed, legalizing them is unimaginable, emphasizing the flaw in the government's logic. It was added that incorporating illegal activities into the institutional system based on illegality violates the principles of rule of law.

Concerns were raised that institutional introduction could rather expand the illegal distribution market and lead to difficulties in management. It was emphasized that legalization cannot be a complete solution to eradicate illegality, and fundamental measures were urged.

He pointed out procedural problems and a lack of proper safety testing during the introduction of this product.

He announced plans to clarify the truth of this matter and punish those responsible through a special prosecutor investigation and parliamentary inquiry.

Such high-risk products should undergo thorough safety testing for at least 6 months to over a year before launch.

However, it was criticized that this product was abruptly introduced by a single directive from then-Policy Chief Kim Yong-bum, with expert discussions and review processes omitted, and inadequate risk disclosure to investors.

This was considered a serious problem, amounting to fraud under the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Economic Crimes.

It was strongly emphasized that the legal responsibility of financial policy decision-makers must be clarified regarding how such a risky product could be introduced by a single word from Policy Chief Kim Yong-bum, without even undergoing safety tests.

He emphasized the importance of quickly securing relevant evidence through the CPI's forced investigation.

He raised the necessity of proactively securing key evidence such as meeting minutes, text messages, and communication records through search and seizure, along with a travel ban, urging active involvement from investigative agencies before the parliamentary inquiry.

Assemblyman Yoon Yong-geun referred to PenNMike subscribers as patriotic citizens, evaluating them as the foundation supporting Korea's conservatism. He pointed out the collapse phenomenon occurring across various fields, including judiciary, public security, economy, and housing market, emphasizing the role of the conservative party in normalizing Korea.

He expressed the People Power Party's determination to become the majority party in the 2028 general election and regain power in the 2030 presidential election to restore everything, including the broken criminal justice system.
