15:56
With 267 votes against rejecting a draft bill on full abortion ban, the lower chamber of Parliament decided that the project will be further proceeded in the parliament. MPs also voted against continuing works on counter-proposal that would liberate the so-called "abortion compromise".
At present, Poland's abortion law permits the procedure only if the pregnancy is a result of rape or incest, if the mother’s life is endangered, or if the fetus is severely malformed.
The draft bill of citizens' initiative "Stop Abortion" that will be proceed in the Commission of Justice and Human Rights envisions a total ban on abortion.
