Protests in cities across Poland against new abortion law
Thousands of Poles are protesting in cities across Poland against new abortion laws. The Polish Constitutional Tribunal’s ruling banned almost all kinds of abortion. Once this new law comes to force – abortion will be allowed with exceptions only for cases of rape, incest, or where the health is at risk. Protests took place in major cities in Poland, such as Warsaw, Krakow, Katowice, Poznan.
Yesterday some of the protesters disrupted church services across Poland.
On the weekend, there were some people supporting protests who held flowers in front of the Polish Consulate General of the Republic of Poland in Manchester.
