  1. This is disgusting. Shame on Poland for this archaic fucking bullshit law. The laws are preventing medical doctors and staff to do the job they are sworn in to do when they get their license.

  2. You know, if i had one zloty every time a woman dies in poland due to abortion being declined, i would have two zloty. It’s not much, but it’s weird that it happened twice

  3. Ireland seems to have gotten over their identity crisis, and no longer need the catholic cope to define themselves against their former colonizers. I am sure Poland will figure it out too. But until then, Fs in chat for all the lives ruined by passing unpopular, outdated legislation, due to the state equivalent of having a punk period in your teens.

  4. Prohibition of abortions is surprisingly (for me) important topic for some people. They will vote you only for this. More religious country, more people with this view. More easy votes.

  5. Abortion act is probably the stupidest law, which the ruling right-wing conservative party PiS (Law and Justice) has ever passed. And this poor girl is one of the victims of the anti-abortion policy in Poland

  6. I feel disrespect towards the beliefs of religious people. They do harm and their religion is a fiction.

    I am thankful towards those who do kind work and speak out against the abuse that happen in some parts of religious life.

  7. The blood is on the hand of Christianity and organized religion in general. Those institutions are what caused this. Let’s place them blame where it is due.

  8. I wonder if all those anti-vaxxers are going to go and demonstrate now for better abortion laws. I mean they are all claiming it’s their body and their choice so they won’t get vaccinated. What about the body and choice of women wanting (or just in case in great need for) an abortion?

    EU should put heavy restrictions on Poland for this medieval behaviour. And on all other countries trying to make it harder to get an abortion than necessary, looking at the situation here in Germany.

  9. We should simply make an official warning that Poland is not a safe country for women to move to. Avoid at all cost.

  10. Lithuanian here. Hey, guys from Poland, how is the current government decision to abolish VAT for food and some other products being accepted in the society?

  11. This poor woman faced the choice of dying in hospital or being shunned by her society for getting a life saving procedure.

    Sad to see where Poland is heading.

  12. > The hospital waited until the heartbeat of the second twin also stopped a week later, and then waited a further two days before terminating the pregnancy on 31 December.

    These doctors need to be sent to prison for murder. They purposefully waited and forced the woman to have her dead children inside her for two days. This is beyond cover my ass, this is malevolence.

  13. In Bulgaria and a lot of other ex-communist countries the majority of people are atheist or Christian in name only. I literally know nobody who goes to church or mosque.

    Why didn’t Poland also go atheist?

  14. let’s kill mother of three while she was pregnant with two and they died. Doctor could try to remove the death baby and save the alive one and the woman. or save only the woman she could get pregnant again after time but no, they decided to kill 1 women and her unborn all together.

  15. For anyone not reading the article, both babies hearts had stopped on their own, they had already died. The hospital refused to remove the dead fetuses and she likely died of sepsis.

  16. If you think governments are bothered by “blood on their hands” then you don’t know much about governments.

  17. The reason we have abortion in Ireland is because of a poor women who died after being refused an abortion.

    It’s crazy to think Poland are making the same mistakes and women are dying.
