The Chosen Rebels Mathilde Panot and Manon Aubry representatives brought abortive and the next day in Poland on Tuesday, April 29 to support the activists of this Catholic country whose laws on pregnancy interruption are among the strictest in Europe.
In detail, the two LFI representatives gave approximately 300 pills to militants in Warsaw, while promising to send others to the future.
Poland almost completely prohibits abortion. Abortion aid is responsible for a prison sentence, but no law sanctions women who practice their own abortion with pills ordered online.
“We will continue”
“We bring something to help women who want to interrupt their pregnancy because, whatever the situation, the body of women does not belong to the state or the church, but to women and them,” said Mathilde Panot, head of deputies of LFI.
“We will continue to send pills,” Visiting the first Poland abortion center, located just in front of Parliament.
Association Aborty Dream team created this center last month to press legislators and offer a space where women who plan to interrupt their pregnancy can get help to do so.
For activist Justyna Wydrzynska, the French visit represents “support we don’t have of politicians in Poland.”
“French women came to Poland to abort”
Polish women can only have the hospital in the hospital if pregnancy results from sexual assault or incest, or if it constitutes a direct threat to the mother’s life or health.
The civic coalition of Prime Minister Donald Tusk has pledged to soften these laws, but has not yet obtained the support of Parliament to approve the changes.
According to official figures, just under 900 abortions were held at the hospital last year in this country of 38 million inhabitants. But tens of thousands of women end their pregnancy every year at home, using pills, or abroad, according to associations for the defense of women’s rights.
Several decades ago, “when abortion was not legal in France, French women came to Poland to abort,” said Manon Aubry, leader of LFI deputies in the European Parliament. “Today, we bring our solidarity in the other direction,” he told AFP.
