News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]


No privileges make up for loosing control over one's body. And if you didn't notice for a long time we are more or less trying to make both genders equal.


I am a women and yet your equal. It's not a privilege you give me and can take away.
And yes,to me as a women the vision of the new law is scary. I'm young enough that I have still many years in which I may get pregnant. And guess what? I'm not happy with the possibility that I may have to give birth to my rapist child or to a kid that will only live few hours or months in terrible pain.

For you I may seem melodramatic but for you it's more or less just theoretical question. For me it can become very real issue every month.

Sorry but I have no idea what you are on about here.


Certainly more than the Church in this situation. After all she for sure wouldn't have any problems with paying for a visit in a nice clinic somewhere outside of Poland.


I'm not planning on being raped but it would be nice to know that if I got pregnant in a result of rape I would have the possibility of abortion.

And since current law doesn't allow abortion in a case of 'sleeping around' I can only assume that it's your failed and disgusting attempt at being clever and funny.


It's not since they are not abortion pills.Their task is to slow down ovulation so there will be no conception. No conception=no abortion.

The current law allows 3 situations in which abortion is legal:
-the pregnancy is the result of illegal act (usually rape)
-the fetus is very sick
-the woman health and life is in danger.
I don't think anyone can call it too lenient.
Before PiS came to power the morning after pill was available without prescription but now you have to go to a doctor again. The abortion under the new law could be terminated only if the mather's life is in danger however I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to block that as well. And the women should be prosecuted and charged for up to 5 years in prison

That's what Nowacka said- that this ban will hit poor women the most since wealthier women will just go abroad. If you don't have a penny you'll be f*****.

I'm not panicking just yet but the vision of the future is getting scary.
For PiS supporters it may be worth remembering that they tried it last time and Maria Kaczynska herself organised a meeting in support of the current law.

I don't as I have no reason to do so. However it's hard to deny that that law will affect women not men ergo women are more interested in it. Plenty of Buzz on social media as well. We'll see if the initiative will gather enough signatures...

Well, that will be interesting to see. Women already get ****** off. I didn' see a single positive comment about the new proposal on the most popular portals. Even gossip site like Pudelek reports this proposal and most comments I saw there and elsewhere is that priests went mad and should sort out their sh** and not get involved with this.

Some right-wing politicians are not too happy as well. Gowin (if I remember correctly) said that even though he's against abortion this new proposal will change Poland into unchristian country.

News / Poland's post-election political scene [4080]


I'm just curious which one of the above characteristics is such a bad thing that you list it along with snitches? Is it being agnostic, non-gentle or an intellectual?

News / Poland's post-election political scene [4080]

Sorry Pol but at least Delph comes up with new informations whereas your only response is that it's all KOD and unpatriotic Poles. Sometimes I agree that Delph blows things out of proportion but you really went over the board saying it's ok that the guy doesn't have any experience. Either don't comment or say that you don't believe he hasn't got any expirience or at least admit that IF it's true it was the wrong thing to do. Opposition ( Delph here) criticises the government as a rule (you did the same when PO was in power) but to agree that that situation is ok is just crazy. Especially since you associate your favourite political party with honesty and rule of law.

News / Poland's post-election political scene [4080]

You Polonius would gladly say that black is white and white is black if it only concerned PiS. I usually ignore your posts after reading few first words almost always including KOD and PiS (what's up with you and repeating the same phrases and 'jokes' over and over again anyway?).

Giving young ppl a chance is a good thing but appointing someone without a clue in very high position is stupid and dangerous. I wonder if anyone would like to be treated by someone who never had anything to do with medicine.

Only in your agenda ridden mind can it be ok Polonius.

No wonder that poll is showing such results since no one beside PiS supporters watches it. Nothing major just really funny.

News / Poland to return to Catholic tradition? [177]

I will do it when Catolics nad others will stop bugger info other ppl lives nad imposing their belief onto society, deal?
Especially in Poland the amount of times even the law is broken just because it concerns religion (e.g. signing kids out of religion classes instead of signing them in, the hours of religion classes)

Love / Valentines Day & Polish men [130]

Don't be silly Polonius. As much as I think Valentine's Day is a bit silly I make no mistake when it comes to how popular that day becomes in Poland. Young Poles do know what Valentine's Day is and definitely celebrate it. Just try to get a place in a nice restaurant and you'll see.

All days like that are invented and 'alien' even your Easter is imported

Love / Valentines Day & Polish men [130]

And that's the saddest thing InPolska. How can you not see that that one flower may be dearer than even 100 zl bouquet. And it's not about the money. Believe me that giving one flower has nothing to do with how much it costs. If that is ridiculous for a westerner like you then I'm even happier than before that I was born in Poland and not let's say...France

Love / Valentines Day & Polish men [130]

Those who never noticed and appreciated the beauty of a single unflawed rose are very poor indeed. Maybe not in money terms but in all that matters...

Law / Can somebody explain ZUS to me? [40]

Really? Weird since (as explained to me recently by PIP worker, the worker will be sewing shirts for some time)
umowa zlecenie- the worker is to make certain things the best he can and usually not (example given to me- sewing shirts)
umowa o dzieło- the worker is paid for a precise thing he does "dzieło" (example- 10 shirts, he is paid for the shirts, not the time he spends on it e.t.c)

But well, I'm not a lawyer.

Law / Can somebody explain ZUS to me? [40]

More like umowa zlecenie. I never heard of a teacher working on umowa o dzieło.

Law / Can somebody explain ZUS to me? [40]

ZUS is a big payment and I understand that it can be a strain on the employers and one man companies but there is one thing- if you don't want to pay ZUS, cool, but don't moan after that you don't have a pension. It's like with our stars that never paid ZUS and now complain they have 500 zl of pension.

1-A cop that retires at 35 would get real peanuts- not a graduate from Uni so started from the real bottom, before he got promoted...
2- Cops and soldiers are NOT paid by the ZUS.

Off-Topic / Eurovision - Today I will be ashamed to be Polish [583]


Of what? I am Polish and quite frankly I wouldn't respect myself if the only think recomending me was that "I can move what my mom gave me". But well, choose a girl like that and I wish you happiness.


Is it a beauty contest? Because from what I know it's about singing and not "how hot the singer is". Don't like it then don't look.

5th not 3rd.
It's a lousy meaningless song. Nothing more. And I hope not too many men will think this way about Polish girls

Off-Topic / Eurovision - Today I will be ashamed to be Polish [583]

It was almost soft prn. The girls are pretty and sexy however it doesn't mean that song deserved to win. Compare that to Edyta Górniak and you can see the huge gap between these two.

Life / Being a Jew in modern-day Poland; Israeli Jew who is of Polish descent [279]

I wondered the same thing.

Life / Being a Jew in modern-day Poland; Israeli Jew who is of Polish descent [279]


I can. Some ppl do not look at some organizations statistics but come here and expirience real Poland. If they like it they stay.

Life / Being a Jew in modern-day Poland; Israeli Jew who is of Polish descent [279]


Yes, that's why most Poles hate ppl from Warsaw :P


It's not as it used to be but maybe soon it will be different. If they don't want to come because they don't like Poland but I hope soon the fear of anti-semitism will be gone.


Hmm, that doesn't put nice image... Quite ignorant. Don't judge book by the cover (or past for that matter) Hopefully such attitude is not to spread.

Life / Being a Jew in modern-day Poland; Israeli Jew who is of Polish descent [279]


Warsaw is not whole Poland, please try to remember that. It's hard to deny that compared to the past the ammount of Jews in Poland is very, VERY small. I don't want to say I would be against Jews coming to Poland, I just want to say that we don't have a big group of Jews in Poland.

USA, Canada / Polish women are not to be trusted! They are out to get American men just for money. [62]

In every relationship there are obstacles. Usually hard to overcome. I won't throw away love becase of some ideas of possible problems. In every relationship you have to take into account that things may become hard and if you are in love they are easier to overcome. I'm not buying a car to think about stuff like that- I'm choosing a partner.

Yes, and even more than 10 years. Compromises are necesarry but it can have a lot of adventages as well. It all comes to one- you fall in love with a person, not some foggy idea of nationality.

USA, Canada / Polish women are not to be trusted! They are out to get American men just for money. [62]

Listen, I met different men, of course mostly Polish, however few foreigners as well. I always looked at what kind of person the guy is not at his passport.

Stability has nothing to do with nationality. If you met a guy you judge by his character how grown up is he, not by the nationality- that argument is simply invalid.

USA, Canada / Polish women are not to be trusted! They are out to get American men just for money. [62]

It's funny how the ppl that claim they know what Polish women like are men... I would choose character over nationality anytime. If the Polish/Serbian guy suited me more, cool but if the American guy had traits I'm looking for I would choose him. Simple as that. I wouldn't look at some mysterious national traits.
