WARSAW/GDYNIA, Poland - Tens of thousands of people protested across Poland on Friday in defiance of tight coronavirus restrictions, following Thursday’s ruling by the Constitutional Tribunal that imposes a near-total ban on abortion in the predominantly Roman Catholic country.
For the second night running, a cordon of police clad in riot gear blocked them from reaching his house, using loudspeakers to ask protesters to disperse and respect restrictions on public gathering. Polish media estimates put the Warsaw protest at 15,000 people, despite restrictions that limit public gathering at 10 in the capital. That number is due to go down to five from Saturday.Thousands also took to the streets in the cities of Poznan, Wroclaw and Krakow, footage from private broadcaster TVN showed.
Protesters in Warsaw launched flares but the demonstrations were largely peaceful, unlike on Thursday when some threw stones and the police used pepper spray.
CommieGIR I always thought the jokes about stupid people in Poland were just racist, but clearly someone over there is missing a marble or two.
Picture from yesterday protest in Krakow. Government is trying to distract our attention from catastrophic situation in hospitals and the fact that people are not getting basic help by chaining the controversial law.
Stupid law. A woman should have the right to independently dispose of her body and her health!

Средневековье! Запрет абортов ничего не изменит, а переведёт вопрос в другую плоскость. Женщина всегда найдёт способ избавиться от нежеланной ноши даже путем возможного вреда своему здоровью. Тем кто принимал запрет 'Рожайте сами, мужики! Наука в помощь!'
EmilyNeves Good for Poland. Protect the unborn.

Now that we are about to add a 7th Catholic justice brace for the same here.
Banning is never the solution, people are going to do it anyway but would have to face prosecution because it becomes illegal.
I've lost all respect for our government over the climate crisis. The biosphere contains all the known life in the universe. Everything else, including the economy depends on it. It is worth far more than all the money and power in the entire world.
See what happens when Poles re-elected a right wing leader, Trump’s friend, Andrzej Duda, women get screwed, they now have less power, what’s next?

Coming to America soon
This world is going to shit ...🤦🏼♂️
A lot of those unfamiliar with Poland don’t realize how Catholic it is.
Why don't people just start using rubbers
