Polish women don’t have access to abortion rights. The existing law allows for termination of pregnancy only in cases of a serious threat to woman’s health, severe damage of the fetus or rape. Its implementation proved to be complete fiction. Officially there are about 500 abortions a year in Poland while for example in Spain, a country with a similar population, the number exceeds 110 000. Non-governmental organizations estimate the number of abortions in the underground at 150 000 a year. <a href="http://www.avaaz.org/en/petition/Safe_Legal_Abortion_in_Poland_Now_Prawo_do_bezpiecznej_i_legalnej_aborcji_dla_Polek/">Pour lire la suite et signer la pétition</a></p>
