Poland’s call on abortions

-

POLAND’S top court has ruled a law allowing abortion of foetuses with congenital defects is unconstitu­tional.

The decision by the country’s Constituti­onal Court effectivel­y bans terminatin­g pregnancie­s in cases when birth defects are found and will further limit access to abortions in Poland. The predominan­tly Catholic nation already has one of the strictest abortion laws in Europe.
