A proposed bill banning abortion in Poland presented a fresh challenge for women's rights activists there: how to protest in the time of coronavirus

She didn't have a destination as she passed through Warsaw's mostly deserted streets, but, just before noon last Tuesday, she got a text with directions: go to Rondo Dmowskiego.

— Marta Górczyńska April 14, 2020 But the abortion bill is part of a wider problem, according to campaigners and academics who say that Poland's ruling nationalist Law and Justice party is using the pandemic to continue chipping away at democracy and tightening its grip on power."What's happening now is the next stage in the destruction of our new democratic state," Anna Materska-Sosnowska, a political scientist at Warsaw University, told CNN.

— Stefan Simanowitz April 14, 2020 Justyna Wydrzynska, an activist with Aborcyjny Dream Team, a charity that helps Polish women with access to abortions, says their hotline, which normally receives around 10 calls a day, started ringing off the hook after the government announced border closures to stop the spread of the virus.

Although Eye am for Procreation Eye must admit that all women are not mothering material, with that if A woman wants to not mother a child she had sex to conceive, don't burden the mother to abuse her baby by the law of the land It's call Life Safety People

If you don't want an abortion, don't have one. But don't take away another women's right to choose for herself just because of your own beliefs.

How does the woman have a right to kill an innocent human being? What baffles me it is done under the guise of “women’s health.” TwilightZone
