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

There is no legal abortions happening now anyway due to the pandemic. It's stupid to protest now.

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

over 40 per cent of legal abortions in Poland were cases of suspected Down syndrome
And the remaining over 50%?

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.

What is strange about it?
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
strange kind of logic

These police officers possibly risked their job but I love seeing it.
I think they really underestimated how strongly people think about it.

They do. If pregnancy is early they simply order the drugs online. If it's later they help you organise everything. In an article I read the women said it was 500 euro for abortion in Berlin

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

But your family' story is not some objective truth for the whole society. My parents were having ok life without signing up for the party. And my brother had a nanny for a bit (had to as there was no nursery where they lived)
But if you guys are so eager to claim Pawian's parents had to be party members then you should bang on about Kaczynski and his parents
I have family here in Poland , their story is nothing but desperation, there again they never signed up as party members.
