In it, we explained in detail that \u2013 contrary to what the Left says \u2013 the bill has nothing to do with protecting women. On the contrary!&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin:0cm 0cm 8pt\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Aptos,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">First &#8211; the main victims of abortion are unborn girls, who are killed most often.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin:0cm 0cm 8pt\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Aptos,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Second \u2013 although abortionists regularly say that their goal is \u201csafe abortions,\u201d the proposed bill provides for quite the opposite. The bill, for example, abolishes criminal liability for an abortion performed by a person without medical training or under conditions that violate certain sanitary requirements.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin:0cm 0cm 8pt\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Aptos,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">What\u2019s more, the bill eases penalties for abortion performers who cause the death of the mother!&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin:0cm 0cm 8pt\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Aptos,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">The bill is simply tailored for the abortion lobby and its industry worth billions. This manifests itself not only by allowing anyone to perform abortions but also by protecting butchers who kill children and women. Finally, the growth of the abortion business is served by abolishing liability for aiding and abetting abortion. Everyone will lose, except for the organizations that, in full contempt of Polish law, trade in illegal abortion pills and that announce&#8230; <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.ordoiuris.pl\/life-protection\/polands-ruling-coalition-pro-eu-left-liberals-want-make-abortion-demand-available\" style=\"color:#467886; text-decoration:underline\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">the opening of an abortion clinic in Warsaw<\/span><\/a><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin:0cm 0cm 8pt\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Aptos,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">The proposed legislation will therefore lead to a drastic reduction in the standard of care for women and create a serious threat to the lives of pregnant women. This, by the way, is not our only concern. Even Civic Coalition MP Roman Giertych wrote on social media that the Left\u2019s project is \u201csloppy, unreasonable, and even dangerous for women in some points,\u201d and PSL MP Marek Sawicki said that after the possible implementation of the Left\u2019s proposed legislation, even a person not licensed to practice conventional medicine will be able to perform an abortion; and if such persons kill the mother and child, they will not bear any responsibility.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin:0cm 0cm 8pt\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Aptos,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">The Civic Coalition is a political alliance led by PM Donald Tusk\u2019s liberal party and the PSL is an agrarian party, which is said to be the most conservative member of Poland\u2019s ruling left-liberal coalition.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin:0cm 0cm 8pt\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Aptos,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">In the course of the parliamentary debate, the words of MP Karina Bosak from the right-wing Confederation alliance of Christian nationalists and libertarians, rang out movingly.

Acting on the basis of unlawful guidelines is a violation of the law, for which doctors, not members of the government, will be held responsible. At the same time, we, at the Ordo Iuris Institute, offer training and free legal assistance to all doctors, because both the Polish Constitution and Poland\u2019s binding international law unequivocally affirm that no one has the right to force a doctor or hospital to kill unborn children.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin:0cm 0cm 8pt\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Aptos,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Our experts are already well advanced in developing a comprehensive legal guide for doctors, in which we will explain to blackmailed healthcare workers how they can save themselves from attempts to force them to kill unborn children.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin:0cm 0cm 8pt\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"line-height:115%\"><span style=\"font-family:Aptos,sans-serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Our work with the medical community is already bearing fruit.

The hospital was originally fined 550 thousand zlotys (PLN), but on appeal, the fine was reduced by just over half. A similar penalty was imposed on the University Clinical Hospital in Wroc\u0142aw (PLN 300 thousand) and the hospital in Lubart\u00f3w (PLN 100 thousand).
