Law / Unwanted pregnancy in Poland - threats, rights [55]

Well, for one we have only his words for what happened.
If I was suspicious I would take precautions. Wouldn't you? And a simple fact that someone may forget to take a pill? Or have indigestion?


How can you say Poland is so different if you admit you don't know how it works in other countries? Something cannot be different without data on other cases

And again- abortion laws have nothing to do with the described situation.

Law / Unwanted pregnancy in Poland - threats, rights [55]


They can't agree. Happens. In my opinion if two adults have sex they have to accept there might be a pregnancy and I don't take too kindly to people who seem to run away as soon as that happens. Especially since this guy doesn't seem to be in a bad place ( you know, drug addict or living in the slums with no future). I am pro choice mostly because I think it's often better than bringing an unwanted baby to this world. Here she is prepared to go through the trouble so that side wins. If it was possible for the guy to carry the baby and he decided to raise it I would put women to the same standard.

Poland has the same abortion law for over 20 years so either you are not well informed or you can't express yourself properly- you choose.

And it is a rant as abortion laws are not really relevant here- the girl doesn't want one.

Law / Unwanted pregnancy in Poland - threats, rights [55]


Then he should have put a rubber on. And you are just using it for your rant. All that b****t about abortion laws- not withstanding in this case, orphanaged etc. Not to mention showing hiw badly informed you are- there is nothing new about abortion laws in Poland.


Only in two first cases it matters. In the rest- he has to sign off as well. Plus I think every country puts regulations on adoption, especially to a different country.


Then why isn't he taking care of the child?

And prostitution is absolutely legal in Poland

Do you know any country in which the father can force the mother to have an abortion if she doesn't want one?

Law / Unwanted pregnancy in Poland - threats, rights [55]


Legally she has no say in it either and the OP already commited a crime by trying to convince her to abortion.
I was talking more about my personal view. And a kid is not a tax.

Law / Unwanted pregnancy in Poland - threats, rights [55]

Since only a women can be pregnant and deliver a baby- it's her decision. If the medicine comes to the point where the pregnancy can be transfered to someone else and the man will find someone to do it for him- go ahead, he can have the baby

What are you on about? What hypothetical women?

Law / Unwanted pregnancy in Poland - threats, rights [55]

True, but without money it's that much harder.

That's why grandparents can sue for child support if they are raising the kid. Interesting fact- grandparents can also be sued for child support if the parent refuses to pay.

Plus it seems the girl wants the kid so no reason why grandparents will have to raise it

Law / Unwanted pregnancy in Poland - threats, rights [55]


No, having the test result before makes the case easier. Either you are not the father and then that's it or you are and the court won't have to waste the time on that.


The court decides that on the ground of your earnings. It's payable till the kid is 18 or 25 if it goes into the Uni.
The two of you can either agree things between the two of you or the court will decide for you. Lawyer will of course help you.

@Maf
Oh yes :)
On one wedding I've been to the kid was incorporated into the first dance.

Law / Unwanted pregnancy in Poland - threats, rights [55]

@Mad
I'm surprised to be fair. It is not my experience at all. In my area usually the wedding is done when the kid is born and quite oftem walking :)


To the same degree a women is trapped as well

Law / Unwanted pregnancy in Poland - threats, rights [55]


Oh I hope he will. Easier later in court


How do you know that is what happened? If I didn't want kids that badly I would combine two methods- with preferably one that I control (condoms in the case of a man). Pill is quite easily missed (and I'm talking about accidental not intentional)


Not really. At least not among the people I know.
But most people with 'accidents' are long term relationships anyway so if the pregnancy comes it sometimes speeds things along.

Law / Unwanted pregnancy in Poland - threats, rights [55]

She can sue you for child support and the court can rule you have to pay. Simple as that. You may not want to have anything to do with the child but you still have legal responsibilities.

Sorry Doug but I see no excuse for anyone not to learn a language of a country they live in. Well, unless they are intellectually retarded. Other than that- pure laziness of the worst kind.

News / New Polish traffic laws [25]


And how do they work? Because I didn't notice anything special about them....

Language / Interslavic artificial language [35]

Please stop being so patronising. You have no idea what I'm used to.
The truth is the language is a tool to comunicate and express one's feelings/personality. You may of course dislike it but how the language will look like will depend on the new generations and what works for them

Language / Interslavic artificial language [35]

It it won't work it will be changed.

Language / Interslavic artificial language [35]


That still doesn't change the fact that the language changes in the way people want it to as it's a tool in the hands of society .

Btw- sorry for chopping your quote so much- wouldn't go through otherwise.

Language / Interslavic artificial language [35]

I have to agree Jon. As much as I understand Lyzko's love for nice, correct language we all have to accept that languages play subservient role and as such will change the way people want to use it.

Law / Can I take my son to Poland? My ex partner has sole guardianship. [12]


I assumed Terri was talking about Delph's examples. If not then it's my bad, sorry.


That makes it less life shattering . I know in Poland such cases are ruled by court that decides whether it's ok for the parent to take the kid abroad. I doubt you'd face any problems from the legal system. I would be very careful though- you don't want to hurt your kid.

Law / Can I take my son to Poland? My ex partner has sole guardianship. [12]

Yyy Terri- noone said whether the couple was married. And I don't see how that would help with parental abduction...

I watched it without the subtitles as I was doing something at the same time. But I guess they help generally. If you didn't watch it all you can aleays try to watch the rest without looking at the screen

USA, Canada / What does a Polish person need to visit the USA under the VWP - Visa Waiver Program? [12]

To be fair I didn't know that either. Good to know- thanks

Law / Can I take my son to Poland? My ex partner has sole guardianship. [12]


I agree.
There was a reason why you thought your ex should take care of the kid. Now you not only think about changing that but also force him out of his environment with very limited contact with his sole guardian. I don't think it's in the child's best interest and I hope courts (if it came to that) would see it too.

USA, Canada / What does a Polish person need to visit the USA under the VWP - Visa Waiver Program? [12]


Or visited one of the 'bad' countries. Not many people do to be fair but still worth mentioning.

Language / Interslavic artificial language [35]

I understand almost all of it but I speak both Polish and Russian plus some contact with Czech. It seems very unnatural though.

USA, Canada / What does a Polish person need to visit the USA under the VWP - Visa Waiver Program? [12]

Try google.

Mainly iy's just questions about the person, their lives e.t.c. Considering the girl is Polish I doubt she will have any problems filling it out.

News / Poland one step closer to visa waiver by US Senate [59]

It you are talking about Poland joining visa waiver it came to life on 11th of November. Of course most people travelling in the next few months will still have one as most apply few months before the journey

News / Poland one step closer to visa waiver by US Senate [59]

What bill Lyzko?

News / Poland one step closer to visa waiver by US Senate [59]

I know LOT was campaigning for people to apply for visas if they know they will get it (even if they didn't need them) to push the numbers.

What I was talking about was the American side. If visa waiver was supposed to be pay for buying American equipment e t.c. then they had to do something to help the numbers. So the only way I can think of is to tell the embassy employees to go easy on the applications

But you are right that the interest dropped dramatically over the years.

Btw- thank you for not picking on my lousy grammar, misspelling e.t.c. - I post in a rush from my phone and it has it's impact.
