WE WON AN ABORTION CASE IN STRASBOURG!

Our lawyers, B.A. @kamila_ferenc and B.A. @AgataBzdyn, for the last two years have been representing M.L. before the European Court for Human Rights in a case against Poland.

During M.L.'s pregnancy, the fetus was diagnosed with developmental abnormalities. An abortion was scheduled to be performed at a hospital on 28 January 2021. However, in the middle of the night, M.L. received a message from the hospital that the pregnancy would not be terminated due to the infamous rulling of the Polish Constitutional Court (banning legal abortion on the grounds of foetal abnormalities) had entered into force the day before (27 January). In her rapidly deteriorating mental state, M.L. had to organise a trip abroad within a few days, leaving her family and loved ones in Poland. For an abortion, which only a few days earlier would have been performed for free in a nearby hospital, she had to travel to the Netherlands. She spent more than 5,500 PLN (1220 euro).

The European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg made a clear decision decision: the pseudo-ruling of the Polish Constitutional Court, issued by an illegitimate body, constituted an unlawful interference in M.L.'s private life and violated Article 8 of the European Convention for Human Rights.

We fought for this decision for every woman living in Poland. This verdict is a milestone and another argument that Polish law, which causes so much suffering for women in Poland, must change. We expect the new Polish government to liberalize abortion law. A return to the legal situation before the ruling of the Polish Constitutional Court (i.e. three, strict legal basis for the abortion) is not enough - what is needed is access to legal abortion regardless of the reason.

We are taking action. Reach out - we will help. FEDERA's team is always on your side. [phone], [email protected], https://t.co/R5H4v39Hp4

Women's rights to autonomy, health & privacy being violated in Poland as the govt target for alleged abortion-related activities. There is a climate of fear & scrutiny, 6 women have died after docs refused termination. Share the @hrw video & report https://t.co/GltAMH7jUN widely!

NEW from @hrw: #Poland gov't ruthlessly pursues women, girls seeking health care, and drs, in attempt to find ppl to prosecute for providing or aiding #abortion.

#Liberia Abortion activists fight for legal change.

“Decriminalise abortion to reduce deaths among women” activists say. No woman should die not wanting to keep a pregnancy, it infringes upon their basic human rights to have control over their body.

In #Argentina more than 2 years after the enactment of the abortion law, there are still situations of prosecution of abortion providers, conservative communities in which access to the right is limited, or health teams that misuse conscientious objection due to misinformation.
