🔥WHAT HAPPENED THIS WEEK?
On the October 22nd the Constitutional Court in Poland decided that a possibility to terminate a pregnancy in case of serious fetal abnormalities is unconstitutional as it is inconsistent with art. 38 of the constitution that guarantees the right to life.
3 years ago a group of 40 MPs from the ruling (since 2015) party decided to file a notion to the Constitutional Court. At this time the court had been filled up (also illegally) by judges who are servants of the ruling party. The Constitutional Court has therefore been disgraced by mostly everyone – political opposition, media, society and international institutions. Nevertheless the hearing took place in the middle of COVID pandemic, where the situation has been changing dramatically.
The Court ruled in favor of the applicants. It decided that the provision that allows for abortion on the ground of fetal abnormalities is in breach of the article 38 – the right to life.
There will be no longer a possibility to have an abortion on this ground in a hospital in Poland. Nor will it be possible to have one anywhere else because whoever (like a doctor) does it can be criminally charged. It has been very difficult to get the procedure while it was legal so there is no reason to suspect that doctors will do this outside the system.
But still no pregnant person can be criminally charged for ending their own pregnancy.
Until 22nd week it is still possible to take pills and cause a miscarriage at home.
It is also still possible to have an abortion abroad in any country that allows for it until it is legal there.
Abortion Without Borders still operates in Poland, gives information about abortion options for those who cannot have them within the public heath system.
People get information about pills and safe sources to get them as well as they are given information about a possibility to travel abroad and support (also financial) they can get if they need it.
Every day from 8am to 8pm at +48 22 29 22 587
Abortion Dream Team still offers information and counseling as well as support for these who decide to take pills at home. There are many activists all over Poland who do the same locally.
Spread out the information. Help us reach as many people who might need help as possible.
