Abortion access in Poland under threat

Poland has some of the strictest abortion laws in Europe, allowing the procedure only in cases of rape, risk to the mother's life, or severe fetal abnormalities.

New system to bypass restrictions

Pro-abortion activists are creating a new system to help women access abortion pills despite the legal restrictions in place.

How the system works

The system involves a network of volunteers who provide information, support, and sometimes the medication itself to women seeking abortions outside the legal framework.

Legal risks involved

Those involved in the system face significant legal risks, as providing or receiving abortion pills outside the law can result in criminal charges.

Public response and debate

The initiative has sparked both support and controversy, with some praising it as a necessary response to restrictive laws and others criticizing it as a violation of the law.
