Poland's parliament debated liberalizing its strict abortion law, considering legalizing it up to the 12th week.

Poland's parliament debated on liberalising its strict abortion law, which is one of the most restrictive in Europe. Lawmakers considered four proposals, with two suggesting legalising abortion up to the 12th week of pregnancy. The current 1993 law, heavily influenced by the Catholic Church, was further restricted in 2020 due to a court ruling. Abortion rights advocates and opponents protested during the debate.
