@Korvinus, I bet you live in your mommy's basement and such fantasies of yours help you to cope with the situation ;D


What's wrong, "macho boy", you can't handle me? Haha :D

Get back to the topic please

@Novichok, people with functioning brains don't answer your "percentage questions", because those questions of yours are often ridiculous. Just like when you ask "how many gays are too many?". We don't get to decide how many gay people are born. Nature takes care of that and they've always been a small minority in the society. And in case of abortion - if a 16-year-old girl gets pregnant, since her boyfriend asked her not to use a condom, because he "loves her so much" (*rolls eyes*) and she wasn't able to get contraception pills, it doesn't mean that this girl once she's an adult and ready won't get pregnant. So how are we supposed to answer your question?

Majority of women usually want to have children eventually at some point in their lives, so you don't have to worry about babies not being born. And if you want more babies to be born then make becoming a mother an attractive option for women. For example, by making them feel safe to get pregnant (without them being afraid that they'll end up dead, because a dying fetus is more important than their lives).

"if a 16-year-old girl gets pregnant"

and gets an abortion (sorry, I forgot to add this bit).

I've already debunked this lie of yours at least once before already. It looks like pawian is right - you must be suffering from dementia.


Are you sure you live in Poland? ;D

Yes, and they all liked (and are known for) painting horses :)

I know, I know...! ;) But maybe someone else will guess... Hint: the artist who painted it is Polish, the man depicted is too, I suppose, but this art work is inspired/a copy of a painting by a famous foreign painter.


It is/was a bit different with licea plastyczne - typically they used to be usually 5 years, sometimes 6, for example, and later it changed to 4 or 6 (or both in one school).

No, but Serbia drove those people out of their homes:



Btw:

"The program receives the bulk of its funding from the EU, and plans to find homes for around 8,000 families in Serbia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro and Croatia by mid-2019."


And not China?? ;D Wow, you're quite a fruitcake, haha! :D


And Syria. Actually, Russia was and is meddling in all kinds of places and as Soviet Union and Imperial Russia was meddling, invading and occupying countries for decades and centuries, so it's hardly a good example.

Why "naive"? Probably there are always going to be drug peddlers, human traffickers and other criminals. So? What is your point? Shouldn't criminals be arrested for that reason? Fingernails keep growing back too and yet we cut them.

Tell me, Crnogorac3, are you a supporter of an authoritarian rule? Are you against democracy, media freedom, respecting basic citizen's rights, unfalsified elections, etc?


Oh, I hope the EU will "thank" those two accordingly one day :))


I guess we'll see. Let's hope you're right :)

"It's been going on probably since 2020/2021"

Sorry, it should be 2010/2011.

So, it's been going on for a decade already. It's well prepared, planned - the operation "Floodgate" is an idea of the current chief of Belarusian KGB, Iwan Tertel. This scum has Polish roots, btw:

Belarus is bringing migrants to Belarus on purpose and sending them to the European Union in order to blackmail and destabilise the EU. It's been going on probably since 2020/2021, but not on such a scale like nowadays. It's called operation "Floodgate":

@Crnogorac3, I've discussed with Russians for quite a few years, so your rhetoric and crocodile tears have zero impact on me already, I'm afraid :)

Thanks, Alien, but anyone who went to school in Poland would probably more or less recognise this work and, additionally, I've graduated from liceum plastyczne, so identifying the iconic and better known art works is easier for me, I guess.

I'm not sure about that gun though, especially that there were copies of Mauser C96 produced by other countries - I'm not a gun expert :)

Btw, those very young people in the painting are called Lwów Eaglets (Orlęta Lwowskie):

Mauser C96?
It's a painting by Wojciech Kossak. They're defending the Lychakiv Cemetery in Lviv, Ukraine.

Yes, it looks like it. This is one of the reasons why I wrote that doctors are also to blame. But have you read the whole article that I linked to (not just the title)?


Yeah, that comment about "bad karma" was inappropriate, to put it mildly...

Yup, true. An undisclosed amount, apparently.

Oh, I know what this is... It's a place where more than two borders meet... If it's somewhere near Puszcza Romincka then it must be an intersection of borders between Poland, Russia and... Lithuania?

Is it some kind of a border pole? It looks like there's a fence with barbed wire in the backround...

Yes, exactly. If it wasn't for this new law, the doctors wouldn't have to wait for a woman's condition to get worse.

St. Wojciech (Saint Adalbert of Prague)? He's the patron saint of Poland.


Street merchant selling fruit - in this version she's selling oranges (there's another painting in which she's selling lemons). This painting is well known because of it's history - it was stolen by the Nazis from the National Museum in Warsaw during World War II and recovered by Poland only in 2011 (I like Gierymski's paintings, btw):

Lenka already wrote what I wanted to write, so I guess I have nothing to add. Maybe besides that I agree with maf - in my opinion both PiS and those doctors are to blame. PiS - not only for the new abortion law, but also for the atmosphere that they created in the country (+ Ziobro's personal vendetta against that doctor).

@gumishu, this article is an answer to all your arguments - read what one of the doctors cooperating with that organisation Federacja na Rzecz Kobiet i Planowania Rodziny has to say - he deals with this problem first hand:
