Love / Cheating from spouses. Is cheating very common in Poland ? [116]
She's getting straight into their most private affairs. She is not her friend, not even a colleague.
Now imagine the wife knows about the cheating and stays with him anyway. It may be extremely painful and embarrassing for her to have a hotel employee tell her such stuff.
If I were the owner I would expect my employees to have the 'I don't see anything' attitude as long as there is no crime or felony.
I don't see it as "messing" with someone's private life in such circumstances

Polish Christmas Eve dinner is supposed to be lenten, which means no meat,

Not always. Pregnancy is not equal to having a baby. And the less advanced it is the more chances that something will go wrong. And while I completely support women who choose to give birth to a baby that will die few hours after birth I also understand that some may choose not to risk their health (mental and physical).
The fetus is destined to be a human being

To be fair I have bigger with problems with fathers who stick around when they shouldn't (the same goes for the mother).
To be honest I think it's ridiculous that you can't get sterilised in Poland. That should be one of the Strajk Kobiet points.
Yes that should be the punishment for those who root and leave

And in fact was usually a teenage girl that had sex with her sweetheart who turned out not to be so sweet. And even if you exclude that- that name was about premarital sex. You don't need DNA tests to know the guy is sleeping with the girl
the girl had intercourse with a dozen men the week she got pregnant.

this whole idea of the drunken f.cuk and the nasty whorish woman using abortion as birth control is, in relation to Poland,a myth.

Not in the case of legal abortion. Something like 98% due to birth defects.
In Poland it's illegal to have abortion 'just because' so those numbers won't change no matter what law is passed
Hard stats to pin down

True but that is exactly why the compromise was so important (even if I didn't completely agree with it). It opened a Pandora box.
In my dream world there wouldn't be any abortions and in my a bit less than dream world a women facing such decisions would have available all sorts of helpful info: geneticists, hospice stuff, psychologists, financial advisor... That in panic abortion is not the only way she can see.
The problem with abortion is that almost no one is consistent.

One can either leave the baby in the hospital (after signing forms) or leave the baby in 'okno zycia' with nuns. Both are ok as far as the legal system is concerned. Later on one has to actually go to more 'trouble'.
To be fair I would like to cap it all at 12 weeks but sadly the medicine is just not there yet.
@Ironside
Maybe if you have spend that time writing your arguments instead of ranting about people you disagree with you could have any chance at getting your message through.
Because to survive the fetus needs the women body and in the process can influence her health. As soon as the science will allow for the embryo to be extracted and grown outside of the women body we can say that it's only about the fetus. Up to then someone has to carry and give birth.
if a parent drops an unharmed newborn off and hands the child over to someone, that parent will be free to go.

True, many can lead quite happy life but there are also those who seem to be unaware of any such thing, incapable of interaction...
Loving care makes all the difference and that's why parents of such kids often pray their kids go before them.
I think one of my worst nightmares was always pecherzyca (the disease that creates blisters on the gentlest touch that later break etc. It would be hard to handle to give your kid all that pain every day...
My mom's friend had a heavily disabled kid (dead now) that required physio. She couldn't do it. She couldn't stand the crying and screams of pain. Thankfully the husband stuck around and he did it.
Another one of family friend wasn't so lucky- the guy went to a younger model. She won't have a life

You could you know.. read the thread?
But generally the protests are against making the abortion law stricter and banning abortion due to fetal abnormalities
