CURRENTLY

Well, the law has remained unchanged during two failed PIS administrations so yes, they are currently compromising.

Don't be so silly Po. Firstly, your 'murder' theory is far from accepted. Secondly, if it were true, how do you reconcile that with the PIS regime currently compromising on what you ridiculously consider 'murder'?

Women who hold this view should not be forced to have abortions. And they're not

Which is key to it. Anti-abortionists try to impose their 'beliefs' on women. Pro-choice people do not.

They did have to be, until PiS cancelled the law.

That's actually quite alarming. I wonder if any of those posts are connected to infrastructure funding...

There you go Po, the more you mention

scams

As people say about PIS in general.

Life / Cheapest Marlboro White and Lambert&Butler cigarettes in Poland [17]

L&Bs are not generally smoked in Poland; they are a foreign brand that isn't marketed here. You may find them at a larger wholesaler however they are not generally a retail product here nor would a typical wholesaler stock them. Makro sometimes has them, but not always. Marlboro lights are 15.50zl a packet for box packets and 15zl a packet for soft packets. You may find a tiny discount if you buy by the carton however not always.

or you've pulled that claim from the file marked 'invisible police attack dogs and babies forcibly micro-chipped by the EU'?

I suspected as much. PIS is built on lies. Lies that are now becoming its downfall.

There you go again, trying to get personal when you have nothing to say. And yes, PIS have peaked already and it's now downhill all the way and a pleasure to watch.

The absolute watershed will come if Jaro appoints himself as Premier again.

PO

Probably the best government Poland has had.

Prime Minister Beata Szydło's

Kaczynski's puppet; he even said as much himself.

Interesting that you avoid the topic of their plummeting poll ratings.

Unlikely, since their ratings are plunging and people have seen through their neo-fascist agenda already. The end of the beginning was a long time ago and we've already seen the beginning of the end.

Don't be daft Po, especially in the light (if that's the right word) of the awful bunch we've got in power now. In power for a while, anyway.

Even better would be a constitutional amendment requiring all publicly paid posts to be filled through open public recruitment

Long overdue but doesn't play well with all the PIS minions who want their TKM at the moment.

Don't be silly, Po. Good that you agree with me though that the 'good old days' were anything but that.

And yes, much better that old primitive ideas on abortion are fast receding.

n underclass of slum-dwellersm drunks, work shirkers and wife beaters

So blaming the poor for being poor are you? And denying them the ability to legally terminate a pregnancy no doubt.

complete nuclear families were the norm, f

Not any better than an alternative, misery of families where couples had to stay together for convention, no matter how much e violence and dysfunctionality, abandoned women who had no recourse to divorce and of course the misery of no legal abortion.

Life / Why Do You Love Poland? [907]

Polish kitchen to consist many meats

Plenty of traditional dishes here that don't contain meat, however one issue (aside from the horrendous cruelty of factory farming) is all the wędliny, basically processed food and very unhealthy.

If you want an area of food in which Poland excels (perhaps the main area) think about the soups. Most of them not meat based and some of them excellent.

I am not sure that was a good thing tbh.

Most people now would say it was a very bad thing indeed. When looking back at the 'good old days' it's easy to forget that they were in fact very far from good for a lot of people.

Language / The "end piece" of a loaf of bread in Polish [80]

Mmmm, and dachówki migdalowe too. Not originally from Poland however a few Warsaw bakeries have done them for decades and they are delicious.

Whenever I've served them here, Polish guests tend to assume they're a foreign delicacy however in fact they are very Warsaw.

There's a difference between needing care (even lots of it) and needing to essentially feed off of someone else's body

Yes, that's true. And even a world of difference between that and those very few desperately unfortunate babies who even if they weren't aborted as foetuses before delivery have only a few days or weeks of extreme pain and distress to look forward to before an agonising death.

But hey, maybe that's "part of God's plan".

And they say that those of us who would end those wretched lives painlessly and with dignity are the bad guys.

Laws change. The abject failure of PIS attempts to turn the clock back suggest that in 20 years the law may well be very different. Right now, Polish women are happy to cross the border for medical procedures that are currently unavailable at home.

the implications of what I said

There aren't many at all.

Essentially, it's a woman's right to choose, as the women of Poland made very clear last week.

So what? If their doctor had said nothing they'd ended up with very damaged kids the story would be different. On medical matters, doctors are the experts, not clergy.

Anyway, I've got a strange pain in my leg so I'm off to see the vicar - maybe he can cure it.
