This one is quite funny to me:
Police visited a 14 year old because he passed info on Facebook about planned protest, threatened that if he goes there he will be charged as organizer and they passed the info to his school and family court

And it's funny (although in a sad way) that there are people that don't get teenagers that badly

That line of argument was already discussed. Come back when you find something new
Btw-there is a separate abortion discussion. This one is more about protests
Except while a fetus, but the concept is the same, isn't it?

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
somebody explain what the protesters wanted and what they got?

It seems that when police cordoned off the protesters some Warsowians opened their yards and put some ladders up to let the protesters out. Loving it :)

In my hometown we still have a few including one in the square.
Plus:
-usually good/great localized
-local produce 99%. I even once saw.a farmer just delivering some leeks,lettuce etc in a small hand held wagon
-usually pretty good selection of goods considering space.
Cons:
-awful, and I mean AWFUL customer service. That takes like first 10 places
-no promotions etc. Flat, not so low, prices.
-outdated, not nice interior. unaesthetic

Wow, that's quite a list you've got there.
1. I hope you understand that most people don't give a damn about nobility? It doesn't cross their mind at all.
2. Are you willing to stay at home to look after the kids for few years? And how many is 'several' (I believe the word comes from the number 7... :) )
3. Will the age threshold increase with you getting older?
4. I hope you take into account the changes all those kids will do to her body...
6. Yeah, it is important to have similar worldviews/outlook on life. However judging by your posts your faith is the very center and 99.9% of people I know are not like that.
7. What is an intellectual show off?
11. What does 'pushy about sex' mean?
Generally I don't believe in lists like that. We meet someone and either we 'buy' the whole package or not. But good luck in sesrching

And yet even if they are lethal a women will have to carry the baby and give birth.
People are angry. They have every right to be. A delicate balance of many years was broken. If the government thought they will get away with it scot free they were dreaming
Oh yeah, if Konfederacja said so it must be true...
Tell that to the government who decided to do it now.Why couldn't they just wait to the end of pandemic?
And who told you there is no abortions now?
are not de facto lethal

No, it would be stupid to do so. It would be way overdue, everybody would be like 'why now suddenly' and it would force many families to deal with the current change .
Why the government doesn't say ok, it seems there is a lot of social unrest, we will keep the old rules till the end of pandemic? Wouldn't that be responsible?
If that is what they want - no. But the choice should be theirs. Especially if it's the case of the lethal diseases.
And the remaining over 50%?
that would be a reasonable and responsible thing to do

Yes, but we have the fate of many families at stake. Not for a year or two but for many years to come.
What ppl should do in your opinion? Do you think protests in a year time would make any sense? And how many women would be affected in that time?
there is no censorship introduced - there are no opposition media outlets closed

So they should accept anything government does? Seriously? If it was banning Catolicism would you sit nicely and quietly at home?
If people can go to churches and could attend political meetings they can definitely protest in an open air.

Either PiS did it now because they hoped ppl won't protest or they did it to distract ppl from Covid. Either way it's on them.
Protesting half a year or a year would be pointless

Forcing a women to carry and give birth to a baby that won't survive the birth or die soon after is awful in my opinion.
I think it will backfire. Women will be even less eager to get pregnant. And if they will find out the baby is sick they will be more likely to abort. Instead of going home and discussing with the father, maybe parents and siblings she will run home to google 'abortion Czech' and keep her mouth shut. More fear will work against keeping the baby
