Participants of the study session “Youth Against Online Discrimination” currently taking place in Strasbourg, France, are joining the global protest against further restrictions to the anti-abortion law and another reading of the “Stop Abortion” bill.

This week Poland’s parliament is debating a new draft bill entitled “Stop Abortion.” If adopted, this legislation will further limit the already restricted grounds on which women can lawfully access abortion in Poland. It will place women’s health and lives at risk and violate Poland’s international human rights obligations.

If the “Stop Abortion” bill is passed it will mean that abortion care will no longer be available to women in Poland when they receive a diagnosis of a severe or fatal fetal anomaly.
