31 Jan 2021  |  cnn.com
In Poland, the government's enforcement of a near-total ban on abortions has sparked a series of protests in Warsaw and other cities. The law, which only allows abortions in cases of rape, incest, or when the woman's life is in danger, has been met with opposition led by the Women's Strike group. Protesters defied pandemic-related restrictions and a heavy police presence to express their discontent with the ruling Law and Justice Party (PiS) and its socially conservative agenda. The PiS, backed by President Andrzej Duda, has not publicly commented on the protests. The mayor of Warsaw and other opposition members have shown solidarity with the protesters. The demonstrations highlight the deep cultural and political divisions in Polish society regarding women's reproductive rights and social freedoms.
