A parliamentary committee in Poland has rejected motions to dismiss two draft bills seeking to liberalize abortion laws in the country. One bill proposes partial decriminalization of abortion, while the second aims to reinstate the possibility of terminating pregnancies in cases of severe fetal defects. The committee in Sejm also supported two amendments proposed by Polska 2050, indicating potential for further changes to the legislation. This decision means the bills will proceed to a full vote in Sejm, the lower house of the Polish Parliament. Debates are expected to be contentious given the sensitive nature of abortion rights in Poland. This move comes amid ongoing scrutiny over reproductive healthcare access in Polska. The outcome of the vote in Sejm remains uncertain but will significantly impact women’s health in Polska.
