WARSAW (Reuters) - Natalia Broniarczyk, an activist with a charity that assists Polish women who want to terminate pregnancies, says its hot line began ringing non-stop after the government announced border closures to stem the coronavirus outbreak last week.
Many callers were worried about their shipments of abortion pills, which are illegal in Poland, and others feared they would not be able to reach clinics abroad in time to have the procedure, which is unavailable in Poland in most cases.
“The idea that we would have to tell a woman that because of the pandemic she won’t be able to go abroad to have an abortion, as she had been planning to, was horrifying,” Broniarczyk said.
In the first couple of days her charity, called Aborcyjny Dream Team, spoke to over a hundred women, compared to some 10 calls or fewer they take a day normally.
Staunchly Catholic Poland has some of the toughest abortion rules in Europe, with the procedure allowed only in the case of some fetal abnormalities, rape, incest or a threat to the mother’s health.
Even when abortion is technically legal, some hospitals refuse to perform it, citing rules that allow doctors to refuse treatment when it contravenes their religious beliefs.
Many women seek help and treatment abroad, a solution that becomes more difficult when governments restrict travel in the hope of limiting the spread of infection.

Just like in the U.S. (And don’t forget the “trans”!)
If there’s enough publicity, maybe more of the general populace will notice that pro-abortion people are absolute ghouls.
So young people can’t party of Miami beach for spring break because they may catch a cold but murderous women should still be able to murder their children.
This is the world we live in, folks.

Who cares about food shortages and hospital beds? Priorities people.
I expect there’s a direct connection between spring break “partying” and abortion for a fair number of young women.
Maybe not in Poland, though.
