Polish lawmakers backed plans to end the country’s near-total abortion ban on Friday, setting the stage for an eventual showdown on women’s rights between the country’s government and its right-wing president. Lawmakers in Poland’s parliament voted four different proposals to ease restrictions on abortions through to a further commission stage, after a two-day debate.
Until then, abortion in the predominately Catholic country had only been allowed under three circumstances: if the pregnancy was a result of rape or incest, if the mother’s life was at risk, or in the case of fetal abnormalities. Friday’s votes marked the start of a lengthy legislative process to relax Poland’s current draconian abortion laws, which are among the strictest in Europe.
