Today, a nationwide women’s strike is taking place in Poland, with protests expected to take place in 60 Polish cities, over a newly proposed law, which would ban all abortions. If enacted, the law also threatens jail time for those who do not comply.
Currently, abortion is banned except in cases of rape or incest, to save the life of the mother, or if the fetus will not survive.
