Organizers say 100,000 people gathered in Warsaw, following a constitutional court ruling on Oct. 22 outlawing abortions due to fetal defects

Military police lined the streets, some of them in riot gear, as the demonstration began.

Far-right groups which support the court ruling also turned out in small gatherings in Warsaw on Friday, and TV footage showed police clashing with them to keep one group away from the protesters. Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki pledged lawmakers would proceed with the legislation quickly, but demonstrators were unimpressed.

Health Minister Adam Niedzielski drew comparisons between the Polish protest and the Black Lives Matter movement against police brutality, saying demonstrations across the United States have caused an “escalation” of the pandemic. Five women were charged with organizing an illegal protest which attracted 850 people in the town of Police on Thursday, regional police spokeswoman Alicja Sledziona said on Friday.
