The European Parliament voted to adopt abortion to become a basic right in the European treaties on Thursday. On the one hand, this vote is symbolic. On the other hand, there is no doubt that this will have influence.

The new Polish government is determined to decriminalise abortion and dismantle the strict laws on termination of pregnancy that were established by the previous coalition. However, it is not that easy.

A child should grow up with his mother. That’s the theory. But in the real world, some new mothers are in panic and try to hide their baby. That is where the baby hatch seems to be an outcome. The number of them is growing in Europe.

Poland's new Prime Minister Donald Tusk is focusing mainly on one thing: undoing plans of the previous conservative government. He seems to be succeeding in this, despite protests from Catholics.

A gynaecologist in Poland has been charged with helping women with getting an abortion. But according to the woman, the authorities are trying to “intimidate her.”
