The lower house of the Polish parliament today voted to allow abortions in cases of fetal abnormalities and to decriminalize assisting with abortion procedures. Polish lawmakers are attempting to reverse the near-total ban on abortions implemented by the previous government. However, a veto from nationalist President Karol Nawrocki is almost certain, according to Reuters. The vote represents a significant shift in Poland’s reproductive rights landscape, though its future remains uncertain. This decision follows widespread protests and concerns over women’s healthcare access in Poland. The potential veto sets the stage for a political showdown between the parliament and the president. The outcome will heavily influence the future of abortion laws in Poland.
