Her heart has been beating since about 21 days post-fertilization and she can drink fluid and suck her thumb, stretch, and open her mouth.

However, the abortion advocates also realize that their proposal is unlikely to be approved by lawmakers while a pro-life party holds the majority in parliament. However, the country&#8217;s other large political party has not backed the pro-abortion proposal, and is divided on abortion.<\/p>\n<p>The goal of the proposal and the gathering of signatures is mainly meant to open up a social debate surrounding abortion. Abortion advocates hope they can convince <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifesitenews.com\/news\/polish-abortion-ban-supporters-deliver-nearly-500000-signatures-to-parliame\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Polish citizens<\/a> that abortion should be legalized because illegal abortions occur. However, making any immoral act legal is not a solution, nor does it make the act suddenly moral. Murder, rape, and child abuse are all illegal but still happen every day. That does not mean these horrific acts should be legalized.<\/p>\n<p>Though this will be the fifth attempt to legalize abortion in Poland since 1993 when it was first mostly outlawed, Argentina serves as an example of why abortion advocates will continue to fight for legal abortion.
