Polish men and women gathered today in front of the parliament. We protested against the utterly horrific new Law and Justice’s (PiS) party project that will basically ban abortion all over the country: raped and underage women will have to carry out the pregnancy — that means protecting the rapists, pedophiles and men who commit incest.
However, that’s not all. Our government wants to ban prenatal screening and diagnosis. They will force women to give birth to deformed and even those seriously ill fetuses. If you think that’s horrible enough, well, they want to hurt us even more: every miscarriage is going to end with a court trial that will determine if the pregnancy was terminated on purpose. This means that women who have just been through unimaginable suffering will have to sit through a court trial and defend themselves as if they had just commited some sort of crime!
No woman will be safe in our own country unless we stand up and end this nightmare!
