Polish abortion ban - London protest

I remember thinking way back when Solidarity was throwing out communism that there would be a huge element of throwing the baby out with the bathwater. I'm not by a million miles away supporter of communism/Marxism/ socialism but having the Catholic Church dictate social policy is not an improvement.

Off out to work but just marking my place. Eugh.

How can you sign up to everything you sign up for when you join the EU, then do this? How is it that we have regulations around everything from cucumbers to livestock to house insulation, but none around how women must be treated.

If the WEP is going to be good for anything at all, they could at least make a stand on this. Make a real change for women.

What was that alternative economics book a few years back? One of the chapters was about an Eastern European country that made abortion illegal (and birth control hard to get as well, I think) and the dictator reaped what he sowed, about 20 years later, when these children rose up in rebellion.

Was satisfying to read, but who wants to wait 20 years? Not me.

Speak, there is talk of only being able to implant a single embryo each time, and no embryos can be frozen at all. So yes, it effectively means the end of IVF in Poland.

I suppose it's consistent at least, if they are saying that human life begins at conception then creating more than one embryo means more than one alive person, which cannot be frozen and implanting more than one embryo raises the possibility that one of them will not develop into and actual human.

It's the forced birther end game really. Wait out for US states thinking this is all a SUPER idea.

speak, I think it's just the storage of embryos long term, but I don't know.

I see it would also impose prison sentences on women who have abortions. How is any of this compatible with human rights legislation?

Unbelievable why on earth are women's rights going backwards in this day & age? How utterly depressing

Does that make IVF impossible? Or is it just the long term storage of embryos that would be affected? It's a huge backward step either way.

According to the guardian they've also made it illegal to freeze embryos for IVF treatments.

What the hell is going on - where did this come from?!
Why are we going backwards? :(

Well what a backwards step for women's right to bodily autonomy
