Kobiety w Sieci’s disclaimer:

Thank you for reminding it! The government not only keep current law. They also shall publish recommendations for courts and medics. Health Ministry shared document focused on law, not even including instructions of contemporary, safe medical procedures. Polish doctors use old, dangerous methods, don’t know how to dose drugs for medical abortion or run vaccum aspiration, sometimes even do c-section - not even an abortion method. This guides are contrary to WHO’s recommendations. Health department do not call doctors to learn new standards, used in other countries for decades. Do not urge madical schools to include abortion into syllabus. Medics who can’t help in abortions can’t provide good care after natural miscarriages. Ministry of Health chosen the most harmful for women, interpretation of law. It’s exactly the same as the previous government’s one. Polish abortion and reproductive health organisations, including Abortion Without Borders (the biggest network providing abortion in europe), prepared new guidelines, based on WHO’s and FiGO’s recommendations. In Polish! Ready to implement! Ministry of Health got this document from us and IGNORED IT. In Poland help in an abortion is criminalised, so every woman can be treated as the witness of a crime. Police is overeager, often don’t know the law and operates against women and their loved ones well-being and safety. We have exaples of searching the cesspools, because women miscarriage!!! At the same time general procurator reminds they can commandeer women’s phones and computers- witness’! The biggest party, theoretically declaring support for abortion legalisation, in reality is ultra conservative and missed opportunity to change the standards as permitted by applicable law. We do what we can, but we need also the international pressure on government. We deeply appreciate if any media can share our point of view, as real abortion providers in Poland (we do as many abortions in 4 days, as all Polish hospitals in a year!). Thank you❣️
