Why Polish women are travelling to Germany for abortions
The Local (Germany) ^ | 6 March 2017 | DPA/The Local

Poland only allows abortions in a limited set of scenarios. So for many women faced with unwanted pregnancies, Germany has become a safe solution.

The cell phone of doctor Janusz Rudzinski is almost constantly ringing.

The native Polish medic is head of the gynaecological branch of a hospital in Prenzlau within the scenic Uckermark region of Brandenburg. And many women from his native land seek him out when they decide to have an abortion.

“Every woman has the right to self-determination, and can decide for themselves about their bodies,” Rudzinski says.

“But in Poland they’re denied this.”

Poland has some of the strictest regulations on abortion in Europe: the procedure is only allowed in cases where the life of the fetus or mother is at risk, or in cases of rape or incest. The Polish government reports that the annual tally of abortions in the country is about 1,000.

A proposal to make the restrictions even greater - including by sending women and doctors to jail - was halted last year amid widespread protests.

Why Polish women are travelling to Germany for abortions..... because their souls are rotten and corrupt. They are eager to murder their own child.

That way they can claim that the Germans slaughtered their babies.

I am sure some EU “human rights” commission is going to spur some EU body to come down on the Constitutional government for “forcing” Polish women to go to German to get abortions.

Because Poles detest the idea of killing Poles.

Germans, not so much.

Not for the babies.

Adolf’s father was the illegitimate son of a young woman named Schicklgruber. Some time later that son (Alois) started using the name Hitler after his supposed father, whose surname was Hiedler. Who Alois’ real father was seems to be uncertain. But the National Socialist leader was never officially a Schicklgruber...too bad, because it might have been harder for him to build up his movement and take power if that had been his surname.

What exactly has the Catholic Church done in this?

Do you, savagesusie know that the Church has been leading the move to remove abortion due to rape/incest/fetal defects?

It failed thanks to the left and the Church was vilified

The Catholic church adopted on abortion dogmatic sounding measure that communists said they would enact.

Sounds to me the Catholic Church was either incompetent in speaking the matter or, like a double dealing lawyer, simply gave ammo to the opposition.

The bottom line is that the Church has never made a counter trial done on Christ Who was not aborted. The reason is that the church is feminine and has a policy that Heaven is earned through marriage with it. The result is that plenty of pro-abortion and homosexual congregants used it to prop themselves up politically without ever being denounced for undermining the message of God.

I know the Catholic Church is infiltrated and has been since Pope Pius X warned in his encyclical “Pascendi”. Some Cardinals and Bishops still follow the Catholic Canon, like in Poland, and God Bless Them. The dear pope undermines the traditional bishops and cardinals at every turn, and that is the problem.

Where is the Pope? Poland needs the force of the whole Catholic Church behind them, and instead, they have a pope who complains about “walls” although he has the thickest one in town, and about “global warming” and other irrational things which have NOTHING to do with Catholic Theology. His wishy-washy approach to “evil” is the problem. There is no leader of the Catholic Church.

The Church (in Rome) is the Left. We have a Marxist pope (an oxymoron) .

You can always count on Germans to be willing to kill Poles.

My thoughts exactly. I have nothing to add.
