Polish lawmakers proceed with proposal to ban abortion

Updated 12:03 pm, Friday, September 23, 2016



WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Poland's lawmakers have decided to proceed with work to ban abortion and have rejected a proposal to liberalize the current restrictive law.

The vote Friday followed a debate the day before on two drafts by civic groups: one to fully ban abortion and one to allow termination of pregnancy through its 12th week.

Poland's current law allows abortion through the pregnancy's 12th week if the woman's health or life is endangered, the pregnancy results from a crime, or if the fetus is irreparably damaged.

The lower house of parliament voted for its justice and human rights commission to analyze the draft of the total ban, and rejected the opposing proposal.

1. Not many women in that pic.

And the one I see looks too old to get pregnant.

I don't think men should be entitled to rule over women's reproductive systems.

3. Bottom right corner looks like a woman...

but that doesn't matter- there are plenty of women out there who support this crap, and most of them are religious.
