Abortion Restrictions Set to Take Effect in Poland

VOA News

   A Polish law limiting abortion to cases of rape, incest and when the
   mother's health or life is at risk was expected to go into effect
   Wednesday following an October court decision deeming abortions due to
   fetal defects illegal.

   The court's decision set off protests across the mostly Roman Catholic
   country.

   More protests were expected as the law goes into effect.

   "See you in front of the Constitutional Tribunal today at 6:30 p.m.,"
   the Women's Strike protest group, which organized many of the October
   protests, said on Facebook, according to Bloomberg News.
