Poland considers total ban on abortion

Poland is considering a total ban on abortion that would make it illegal even for rape victims or where the baby would be severely deformed.

Thousands protested in the capital Warsaw after the leader of the country's ruling party backed calls by Polish Catholic bishops for a full ban on pregnancy terminations.

Poland already has one of the strictest abortion laws in the European Union

Poland currently allows terminating pregnancy only at an early stage and when it threatens the life or health of the mother, when the baby is likely to be permanently handicapped or when pregnancy originates from a crime, for example rape or incest.
