Polish women go on strike over insane abortion law

Sadly, this doesn’t look like a viable option at the moment.

The proposed abortion ban was initiated by a citizens petition that gathered more than 450,000 signatures led by the hardline advocacy group Stop Abortion. Under Polish law, a citizens group can launch a legislative initiative by collecting at least 100,000 signatures.

The Stop Abortion initiative was adopted in principle by a large majority in parliament on Sept. 23 and is now being studied by a parliamentary committee. A separate initiative put forth by a group called Save Women that sought to expand the exemptions in the current abortion law and gathered more than 200,000 signatures was defeated.

That is a pity, to say it lightly. Thanks for the update.
