This Polish Law Would Imprison Women Who Have Abortions

A girl raped by her own father will have no choice but to give birth. A woman at high risk of dying in childbirth or of carrying a dead baby will not be able to seek a termination. This will be the impact of new legislation to be debated in the Polish Parliament later this week which, if passed, would usher in an almost complete ban on abortion. On Sunday in Warsaw, London and other cities, protesters will gather opposing the amendment to Poland's existing abortion legislation.
