GDC Urges Poland to Vote against the Stop Abortion Bill

Global Doctors for Choice sent a letter to urging the Polish President, Speaker of the Sejm, the Prime Minister, the Parliamentary Committee, and the Parliamentary Clubs to vote against the Stop Abortion Bill, which would ban abortions in cases involving fetal impairments.

Currently, Poland allows abortions when a woman’s life or health is threatened, when a pregnancy results from a crime, and when tests indicate a high probability of incurable disease or irreparable disability in a fetus.

The draft bill would eliminate the third condition, which accounts for 95% of abortions provided in Poland.
