On Saturday, International Women’s Day, the pro-abortion group Abortion Dream Team opened<\/a> a center across the street from the parliament building in Warsaw, Poland, where women can go to take abortion pills when they don’t want to take them at home alone. The collective has long assisted women<\/a> in obtaining abortions abroad.<\/p>\n

Most preborn children are protected from abortion in pro-life Poland, except those who are conceived via rape or incest or those whose mother’s life is in danger. Two years ago, Prime Minister Donald Tusk promised that if elected, he and his Civic Coalition would expand the law to allow for abortion until 12 weeks, but a bill to end the criminalization of “aiding with an abortion” was defeated<\/a> in Parliament, and Tusk reportedly does not have the support to pass such a law.<\/p>\n

Based on images from the opening this past weekend, the group also appears to be mocking the Catholic Church and the Eucharist. As of 2023, 71% of Polish citizens<\/a> considered themselves Catholic. Images from the event appear to show women eating cookies resembling the Eucharist \u2014 but the cookies feature abortion-friendly wording. Catholics revere the Eucharist as the body of Christ.<\/p>\n

Pro-life activists showed up on Saturday to protest the opening of the facility. \u201cWe will never allow people to kill Polish children on demand,\u201d said pro-lifer Marek Krawczyk. \u201cWe warn all Polish politicians not to introduce disgraceful decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to PolskieRadio<\/a>, “Life and Family” foundation board member Krzysztof Kasprzak stated that protests will continue. “In clinics, people shall be treated, not killed,” he said. “This is an example of the fall of the Polish state. We will definitely act where the state does not, where it allows for breaking the law. We will remain here until the Polish state gets its act together.”<\/p>\n

The Abortion Dream Team is sending a message by strategically opening the abortion pill center directly across from the parliament building, according to The Telegraph<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“We’re opposite the parliament, the president’s chancellary, then national office of Poland’s largest party, Civic platform. We’re taking over a section of Warsaw’s most important street just to remind politicians every day that we are here, that abortion is happening, and that promises must be kept,” said pro-abortion activist Natalia Broniarezyk.<\/p>\n
