... In a square in Szczecinek, a small town in north-west Poland, a crowd of young women, furious at a court ruling that will introduce an almost total ban on abortion, screamed in the face of a local priest, chanting at him to “go back to church” and then to **** off.

“Don’t you understand? In five years it will be a sentence to be a woman living here!” one young woman shouted at the priest, who alternated between trying to debate with the women and making gestures implying they were mad.

...

“I have never seen protests actually go to churches before,” said Marta Kolodziejczak, a sociologist from the Polish Academy of Sciences. “Of course you have protests with anticlerical programmes, but I have never seen a physical protester in a church, or spraying them with paint. This is a shift . . . in contemporary Poland this is something very different.”

Note - most of these young "women" are not church goers - rather they are the ones who already criticize Poland for "not being a normal country that allows free abortions - like Canada"
