WARSAW, Poland (AFP) — Thousands protested on Thursday in Warsaw and over 20 other Polish cities Thursday, seeking abortion rights on the sixth anniversary of a near-total abortion ban imposed by Poland’s highest court.
The demonstrations came days after Parliament passed two Bills that would ease abortion restrictions in the Catholic country, which are likely to be vetoed by Poland’s conservative president.
“These are breadcrumbs,” Kinga Jelinska, director of the Women Help Women Foundation and co-founder of the Abortion Dream Team, told AFP.
