The ruling de facto barred women from accessing already highly restricted legal abortions. In 2019, 98 percent of the 1,100 legal abortions carried out in Polish hospitals were done so on the grounds of prenatal abnormalities.

But we are going to stick these kill baby stickers all over the churches to show how loving we are.

--- "How women are resisting Poland’s abortion ban...."

By not getting pregnant in the first place.

Oddly, not only actual vaginal intercourse but male ejaculation and female fertility are required for pregnancy to occur. Women -- and men too -- who think is abortion is uncontrollable are either uninformed about their own bodies or fools.

They are liars. Also fools, but not really uniformed.

Germany has abortion mills for the Polish women. It is still a conservative Catholic country. But the colleges are now fully controlled by the marxist progressives and churning out programmed robots. It is a shame. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSs957PG3ao
