For weeks in Poland, tens of thousands of protesters have been protesting to remember the 30-year-old 22 weeks pregnant who died of septic shock after doctors, following the restrictive abortion law in effect since the beginning of this year. , refused to perform abortion, despite the fetus being malformed.
Now to take a position is also the European Parliament which has condemned the sentence of the Polish Constitutional Tribunal which imposed an almost absolute ban on abortion because “it endangers the health and life of women”.
In addition, the Polish government is also being asked, with a report approved with 373 votes in favor, 124 against and 55 abstentions, to fully guarantee access to safe, legal and free abortion services.
In the text, MEPs ask that “not one more woman in Poland should lose her life because of this law”. Parliament also calls on EU countries to cooperate more effectively to facilitate cross-border access to abortion services, for example by guaranteeing Polish women access to free and safe abortion in other national health systems.
