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.
