Today we- Polish women go on strike in protest against proposed stricter abortion law that would criminalise nearly all abortions. Currently, abortion is only permitted in cases of rape or if the woman or foetus’ life is in danger. However, legislators have proposed restricting the laws further still to eliminate even these exceptions. Women who break the law could face up to five years in prison. We protest in defence of our right to life, to access to reliable sex education, contraception and effective in vitro procedures.
What do you think- should the Polish government decide what is better for Polish women?
I know that this subject is difficult but it's important to us- women who wants to decide for their lives.
