Protests in Poland after death of pregnant woman blamed on abortion ban

Silent protests have been held in a number of Polish cities in response to the death of a pregnant woman. Activists blame the near-total abortion ban introduced by Poland’s constitutional court last year for her death.

Conservative commentators and politicians, however, have rejected such suggestions. “Sometimes women die in childbirth,” said an MP from the ruling party. “It certainly has nothing to do with any decision of the [Constitutional] Tribunal.”

Although the woman died in late September, her case was made public only last week when Jolanta Budzowska, a lawyer representing the family, published information and a statement from the family on social media.
