Poland is going back and back, Its not just about abortion. They have "gay free" zones.
That's not exactly right. There are councils in Poland that claim that LGBT understood as a political agent is banned. Still bad but not the same.
For context abortion in Poland was legal from late 50' (after death of Stalin when polish government gain some freedom from Moscow) till 97. Poles were protesting back than as well but, left wing politicians decide to play with church and introduced so called 'abortion compromise'.
Poland is not mainly catholic country that's propaganda of the Catholic Church. Even they admitted that is something like 38% of population who attended masses and participate in the church life. But they are like mafia. They have money and power. They suck governmental money, dont have to pay taxes, steal lands and gave a free pass to propagate Catholicism in schools. And are paid for that as 'teachers' although school principals and polish Ofsted have no control over them.
Some people asked about contraception so: you can buy condoms everywhere, gynecologists can prescribe you a pill, a ring etc. but you have to pay fraction of costs. Morning pill is not refunded so it cost enormous money if you are on low wage or a teenage girl. Women who travel tend to buy morning pills abroad in batches and back in Poland they distribute them among friends and friends of friends.
Current government aalready sort of closed one of few clinics in Europe where highly skilled clinicians where operating fetuses in wombs so their hearts would grow healthy and a healthy child would be born at the end, although as a lot of checks is needed to go with procedures it means a lot of fatal cases found thus termination....
Earley they cuted funds for IVF so its available only at private clinics.
There is lots and lots and it's all about making catholic church happy. In Poland it's called Catotaliban....
