Entry to the debate is free, priority for ticket holders

In Poland abortion belongs to the most controversial and emotionally igniting subjects. We live in a country, which has one of harshest laws in Europe when it comes to abortion. For the last several months once again a discussion has rolled through Poland about this subject. In what situations is abortion in Poland legal? In what direction should we change the existing laws? Perhaps the current “compromise” – as is the current law being called – should be kept the way it is? If the subject differentiates, we should perhaps wonder how we should bring the subject up in public debate. What will be changed in our reality by limiting access to prenatal healthcare?
