If you’d sketch this situation to meps before they voted for this law, they’d tell you “you’re making up shit now”.
Sounds like some horror movie about a derange insane madman torturing a woman. And then it’s just Polish politics.
A pregnant woman has died after having to carry a dead foetus in her womb for over a week.
A similar case last autumn, when a pregnant woman died after doctors refused to terminate her foetus despite it being diagnosed with fatal birth defects, prompted mass protests against the abortion law.
The family blamed the hospital for the tragedy, saying Agnieszka had been forced to carry a dead foetus for seven days because doctors did not want to remove it for fear of harming its twin.
Catholicism: “We understand your sadness, woman’s family, but this is god’s will.”
This is disturbing. Whoever thinks this is OK they have a serious fucking problem.
Can’t they sue the lawmakers who are responsible for this law for manslaughter at the ECJ?
Sheesh , that’s an absolute horror
all responsible for denying of this medical procedure must be sent to jail for a lifetime
Wow, wtf Poland. RIP to that poor woman.
Welcome back to the fucking dark ages
Fucking murderers. This makes me so angry.
Again?
The polish voters are responsible for this. The Pope is responsible.
It seems the more Europe helps Poland emerge from communism, the more it emerges as chauvinistic, conservative, and totalitarian. It’s like perhaps we never really knew it at all.
“[…] our doctors took all the necessary diagnostic and therapeutic measures, but unfortunately, the patient’s condition made it impossible to save her life.”
And by “the patient’s condition” they mean the infection caused by the dead body they left in her for over a week. Assholes.
Poland = EU Pakistan
inevitable
Once again another person died because of our *lovely* laws that are enforced by *the best* people in whole universe
Women. Please take a train to another country and go to a hospital. You will get help.
Something not too dissimilar happened in Ireland and it triggered the repeal of our 8th amendment (which banned abortion) and brought in proper abortion laws, providing for safe and available abortion country-wide.
The actual fuck. I thought (hoped) it would be a spam repeat of last years case. Things have to change or Poland’s membership in the EU must be questioned.
Vile
Women of Poland, the lithuanian border is open and you can get help here!!!!!
Once again it is demonstrated that the purpose of abortion bans is not to save fetuses but to harm women.
Just another victim of the current government.
But pro-life amirite?
This shouldn’t become a norm in Polish society.
That’s called femicide by the way.
I’m from Poland and this issue bother a lot many Polish women. Unfortunately it happens and will continue happening because of the anti-abortion policy of our right-wind conservative party PiS (Law and Justice). This is not the only case, there’re much more deaths took place in Poland. International community should do something with it to prevent other lethal episodes from happening
Jeez..what is this.. saudi arabia..
Arch-conservative Polish catholics are a fucking plague.
Poland, truly first world country
This is stupid, just get in the car and drive to Germany straight to the first emergency unit. Politicians have blood on their hands.
This is pissing me off. There is a serious misunderstanding of what an abortion is. An abortion is the removal of a live foetus. And then there are operations to remove dead infectious tissues. The techniques are similar but they are not for the same thing! I say this as someone who had a missed miscarriage and carried my dead foetus for 4 weeks (yes it can happen. Lots of women only discover it at their 12 weeks scan as there are no signs). Luckily for me it wasn’t infectious. I just wish miscarrying wasn’t a taboo subject and was talked about more. People would know the difference and stop calling operations for them abortions when they are not!
“After the death of the first child (on 23 December 2021), a wait-and-see approach was adopted as there was a chance to save the second child,” it said in a statement issued to Onet.
A yes, the famous “wait and see” approach that is very popular in healthcare

Catholic version of sharia law, well done Poland, you are going straight back to 14th century.
The time has come to pull European and American investment in Poland until they amend their laws.
Right wing: Better 100 dead incuba… I mean women than one dead fetus.
I guess they didn’t learn anything from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Savita_Halappanavar
