Tens of thousands of Poles blocked city streets in cars, on bicycles and on foot on Monday on the fifth day of protests against a Constitutional Court ruling that amounts to a near-total ban on abortion in the predominantly Catholic country.

Carrying banners reading “Enough”, “I won’t be your martyr” and “I want choice, not terror”, protesters gathered in several dozen towns and cities in defiance of coronavirus restrictions.

It has also heightened criticism of PiS, which came to power five years ago on a promise to instil more traditional values. The Constitutional Court is part of the government’s sweeping overhaul of the justice system which the European Commission says subverts the rule of law by politicising courts.Crowds also gathered again near the house of PiS leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski in an affluent Warsaw neighbourhood, as police in vans with flashing lights kept them away and a helicopter hovered overhead.

Stop PIS

This is the case when you want to force women to bear damaged fetuses as well as terminally ill. It is an attack that constitutes the basic human values: freedom of choice. Everyone has reason and free will and no one has the right to interfere with it. COVID19 Freedom

Is trump sending the military to quash it

Sadly, the sign reflects the growing mentality that sees a simple solution in killing anything that disagrees with or inconveniences the mob. This is dangerous ground. A society that delights in killing its babies will ultimately be torn apart.

Your Reproductive Rights Could Depend on Your Down-Ballot Votes This ElectionYour vote for president is extremely important this year, but here's something you shouldn't overlook: the rest of the candidates on the ballot. I’m not worried. I planned my tubal ligation the same day my second child was born almost 14 years ago. I don’t want more children except the ones from my future partner. I do however defend women’s rights to make decisions about their own body. That’s the way I live my life.
