Poland's parliament is currently engaged in a significant debate regarding the liberalization of the country's strict abortion law. The nation, known for its strong Catholic influence, has one of the most stringent abortion laws in Europe. Despite the existing regulations, many women in Poland resort to terminating pregnancies at home using pills obtained from overseas.
The lower house of parliament is set to review four distinct proposals on the matter. The current abortion law, established in 1993 and heavily influenced by the Catholic church, was further restricted following a 2020 constitutional court ruling that prohibited abortion in cases of fetal abnormalities.
