WARSAW - Polish lawmakers on Wednesday voted in favor of a bill to criminalize “the promotion of underage sexual activity,” in a move seen by some as a government effort to court conservative support and which outraged liberals who say the bill aims to ban sex education.

“Disgrace for the deputies ... who referred for further work a project punishing sex education with prison,” tweeted opposition lawmaker Joanna Scheuring-Wielgus, who had earlier raised a motion to have the bill thrown out. “Many people I know who do sex education are scared to do our work despite the fact that it is a basic right of every person.”

Some political analysts think the PiS, which lost seats in the upper house and won the same number of seats in the lower house as in 2015, wants to show such voters it is the best party to represent them, which may result in the party turning further to the right and to the Church. But newly elected PiS lawmaker Marcin Ociepa said fears that educators may end up behind bars are just an “overinterpretation of the bill” and that he saw nothing bad with the legislation.

“Promoting”? I thought pedophilia, but upon reading the article, it does seem like they’re trying to ban sex education. That’s quite unreasonable assuming they’re only teaching the normal stuff & not trying to convince them that there‘s a spectrum of 100+ not-so-unique “genders.”

Some pedo sympathizers in the comments wanting kids to be sexualizes through subversive sex ed.

No shit!!

We as a society must protect your women who are not capable of making an informed decision. We also need to legalize prostitution as it is a victimless crime between consenting adults. All studies have demonstrated trafficking and the incidence of rape go down radically.

If only we had that in the US, leftists would be screwed...

Wrong information. This has always been a law in Poland. So there was no vote.

Bad headline. Misleading. Appears to ban sex education in schools.

Buried in this is: 'Critics accused the PiS (: LAW & JUSTICE party) of fomenting homophobia during the election campaign, with party officials calling lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights an invasive foreign influence that threatens Poland's national identity.'

what is it being called, The Polanski Bill?

nihilisticpillo hide ur french gf, polands comin for her

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Guess some of our politicans might not be visiting Poland any time soon.
