In June 2022 Poland’s parliament has rejected a bill that would have liberalised the country’s abortion law – which is one of the strictest in Europe – by allowing terminations on demand up to 12 weeks of pregnancy. A majority of 265 MPs in the 460-seat Sejm voted to reject the legislation. That included almost all members of the ruling national-conservative Law and Justice (PiS) party’s caucus, as well as the centre-right Polish Coalition (KP) and far-right Confederation (Konfederacja), both of which are in opposition. Under Polish law, a woman who has terminated her own pregnancy is not liable for prosecution, but abortion rights campaigners say the recent reports of harassment highlight the consequences of criminalising abortion.

I do not wish to be labelled either pro-life or pro-choice, it's up to the person who wishes for abortion to decide what they want to do and should not be pressured by societal norms or expectations
@9G8S6YJ 12mos12MO
pro-choice because every woman has the choice on their body and I'm think it must be more supervised.
@9G7HGN412mos12MO
pro-choice because every woman must have choice on their body and I'm nobody to judge their choice but pro-life because of my religion.
@9DBPCY61yr1Y
Neither, because abortion would not be a problem if birth control was banned, forcing people to be more careful
@99GD8NK2yrs2Y
Pro-life except for risk for mother or child with serious genetic damages
@8RM98JY4yrs4Y
I don't agree with it but the goverment shouldn't regulate it
