"As I’ve mentioned several times before, Poland was set to enact, though
its legislature, the most stringent anti-abortion law in Europe,
forbidding all abortions, including those resulting from rape or incest,
or when the mother’s life was endangered. Further, all abortions would
have been crimes, punishable by up to five years in prison—presumably
for both the woman and her doctor. Right now, those specific abortions
are legal in Poland, though “normal” abortions aren’t. Two days ago, on
“Black Monday,” thousands of Polish women went on strike, donned black
clothing and, with sympathetic men, demonstrated against their
right-wing, Catholic-dominated government in cities throughout Poland."
