Since a near-ban on legal abortion in 2020, Polish officials have increasingly opened investigations on questionable legal grounds against women and girls seeking medical care for miscarriages or after legal medication abortions, as well as against doctors. The government is apparently attempting to find a basis for prosecuting family members, friends, and healthcare providers for illegally providing or assisting abortions, Human Rights Watch says.

*shaking my head in disbelief*
Half a century ago when abortions were illegal in Spain, rich families would send their unwed pregnant daughters to London to get an abortion. Working class families couldn’t afford the trip, so lots of children were born to families that couldn’t afford them.
Contraceptives were very limited and only available to married women with their husband’s permission.
This all changed around the early seventies or early eighties.
Perhaps in fifty more years Poland will reach the late twentieth century.
Can a Polish woman be prosecuted in Poland for making a legal abortion abroad?
Luckly they can’t. But who knows…
