In a 7 to 2 vote, Seoul's Constitutional Court overturned a 66-year-old ban on abortion, which denied abortion except for in cases of rape, incest or if the mother's health is at risk. The verdict paves way for South Korea to legalize abortion, knocking down one of the most stringent abortion bans in the developed world.
韩国宪法法院以 7 比 2 的投票结果推翻了长达 66 年的堕胎禁令。该禁令禁止堕胎，除非有强奸、乱伦的情况，或者在孕妇的健康受到威胁时。这一裁决为实现韩国堕胎合法化铺平了道路，打破了发达国家中最严苛的堕胎禁令之一。
knocking down...是现在分词做状语，修饰的还是the verdict.
