Women's rights activists are preparing for what they say will be the largest protest so far in over a week of mass nationwide street demonstrations in Poland triggered by a court ruling banning abortions of congenitally damaged fetuses.

The march is planned for Friday evening in Warsaw, the capital, in defiance of government appeals that people stay home due to skyrocketing coronavirus infections. Poland has hit new records almost daily this week, with over 21,600 new COVID-19 cases in one day reported Friday.

The news portal Onet reported Friday that Warsaw's district court was preparing to handle a large number of cases. The law has been often described as a "compromise" between those seeking liberal abortion regulations and the church, which favours a total ban. However, no side has ever been satisfied with the 1993 law, and women's groups demanding greater reproductive rights say it is no compromise at all.

The protests included people disrupting Mass and spray-painting slogans on churches last Sunday. Young protesters also chant obscenities directed at the ruling party and the church. These actions have offended many people in the largely Catholic nation, even some who disagree with the court ruling.
