Following the ruling of October 22, in which the Constitutional Court declared that eugenic (selective) abortion is not compatible with the Polish Constitution, yesterday, Sunday, October 25, 2020, acts of violence took place in Poland in front of churches. The President of the Polish Episcopate expresses his concern.

This act of the Constitutional Court protects human life (art. 38 of the Constitution), respects and protects human dignity (art. 30 of the Constitution) and protects against discrimination (art. 32 of the Constitution).

Polish law allows abortion in cases of sexual violence and serious life threatening for the mother.
