Thousands of women dressed in black protested across Poland in the "Women strike" campaign against a proposed near-total abortion ban in the devoutly Catholic country where legislation is already among the most restrictive in Europe.

Unfortunately, the ending of innocent life doesn’t seem to be a concern to many people.

Sadly Poland’s Catholic-themed values have been polluted by contact with the EU. Just like Ireland.

Got their arms twisted by the EUniks is my guess.

Such a malignant organization, as all globalist entities are.

Decades of occupation by Nazis and Soviet Communists may also skew your view of the world.

The Nazis were an embarrassment to the “science” of eugenics, but it only took a generation for it to sprout from the ashes of dead human beings.

Couldn’t Poles who want an abortion simply go to Germany to have it done?

This is about more than just abortion.

‘This is about more than just abortion.’

I had the same exact thought.

A smart man shouldn’t have anything to do with a female that supports murdering children unless they repent and ask for forgiveness.

It'll never hold. The EU will come down like bricks the way they came down on Hungary over their anti-refugee referendum. Best of luck to the Poles

It was mostly Polish celebrities, they’ve got their own idiot celebrities over there, just like we do here.

Abortions won’t help Poland’s population increase..guess they would then have to import more “immigrants” like the other EU countries. Choices have consequences.

This legislation was proposed by some NGO and included basically total ban on abortion, so for instance a raped woman would have to deliver a child or else face up to 5 years in prison. Even RCC here doesn't support some elements of this project. Opposition made a big show out of it as abortion is a very difficult issue for PiS because there's no simple “pro-choice” and “pro-life” division.

Their voters range from “ultra-conservatives” to center right folks, who think that current law (one of the strictest in the world) is really enough and even some centrists, who were just fed up with impotence of the previous gov. So no matter what they do, they get in troubles with at least one of these groups.

Personally I think that current law is really enough. Instead of bringing up some medieval legislations, I would rather see some crackdown on abortion “underground”, which is not as huge as the “pro-choice” crowd claims but definitely exists here and state institutions don't seem to be doing much to fight it.

Thing is that all demonstration and news in mainstream media was smoking screen for temporary passing CETA [The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement] and they successfully passed it.

Legislative proposal was done by this organisation:

“total ban of abortion” is misinformation.
Most people on demonstration do not even bother to read what they are protesting against, and they knowledge about legislative proposal from TV and other astroturfing sources.

Exacly, it was smoke screen to pass CETA.
This legislative proposal was not for total ban of abortion.

If someone know german language or russian or polish, here document which describe german plans from war time toward Poles. This plan is about demographic war and method used.
Most of them still apply in this days.

Some guys walked to demonstration to ask those people what they know about that legislative proposal.
Vast majority never bother to read it and finnaly had no idea what they protesting against, because they rely on misinformation from mainstream media.
