Thailand is currently developing the Coverage of the Pregnant Women Act.Coverage of Pregnant Women Act, Bangkok Post : Thailand, available at : http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/local/299669/pregnant-migrants-to-be-sent-back-home Regulations for migrant women who are pregnant and giving birth in Thailand are also being drafted: they will be able to return to their home country and return to Thailand again if they wish to. However this can become a social problem: some foreign women workers who are pregnant do not want to return to their country. And some pregannt foreign women are forced by requirement to abort or to work outside of the system.</p>
