I know I don’t have a large following... But I feel so powerless... On the 27 of January 2021 Constitutional Court in Poland publicised their judgement that abortion due to fetal impairment is unconstitutional. Which means they practically banned abortion in Poland. For context: Poland had one of the strictest abortion laws in Europe. It was only possible to abort the pregnancy in three exceptions. 1. Danger to mother’s life 2. Conception during an illegal act (rape, incest, etc) 3. High probability of a severe and irreversible fetal impairment or incurable life threatening disease In 2019 in Poland 1110 legal abortions were preformed from which 1074 were due to the third exception. It’s sickening that we are denied abortion even if it would be mercy for a child that is not going to survive. Traumatizing women by forcing them to keep the pregnancy with a baby that is not going to survive is inhumane. And don’t get me started on the quality of life of disabled people here in Poland.
