Justyna Wydrzyńska, who was convicted for providing abortion pills, refuses to give up campaign for legal terminations
Polish activist Justyna Wydrzyńska is the first woman in Europe to be convicted of “intent to aid” an abortion. For the first time, the woman she helped, Ania, tells the story of her desperate quest to end her pregnancy.
Just as it once did in Argentina, the pendulum has now swung in our country, too - the debate about abortion has ceased to be an ideological issue and has become a discussion about laws regulating access to medical services. The world is changing.
Ever more people in Poland realize that a ban on abortions does not mean the end of abortions. Ever more people in Poland believe that medical services should be decided by medical standards alone. Ever more people in Poland believe that women know what they are doing.
Activists help women obtain self-administered abortion pills, but conservative groups want the law to be tightened.
