Safe & Legal Abortion in Poland Now !

22 August 2012

Polish women don’t have access to abortion rights. The existing law allows for termination of pregnancy only in cases of a serious threat to woman’s health, severe damage of the fetus or rape. Its implementation proved to be complete fiction. Non-governmental organizations estimate the number of abortions in the underground at 150 000 a year.

In late August or September the Polish parliament will consider the new bill on conscious parenthood. This progressive law would liberalize the regulations on abortion, making it legal until the 12th week of pregnancy, introduce free/subsidized contraception and comprehensive sexuality education in schools.

Polish women need your help and support to convince Members of Parliament that this change is needed to ensure that their basic rights are respected.
