Polish court to rule on activist's case, which could set precedent for strict abortion laws.

An appeals court in Poland will soon rule on the case of Justyna Wydrzynska, a women's rights activist convicted for helping a woman obtain abortion pills. Sentenced to eight months of community service, Wydrzynska argues the original judge was biased. In Poland, aiding an abortion can lead to up to three years in prison. The case could set a precedent in a country with some of Europe's strictest abortion laws, allowing abortion only under specific conditions.
