Similar efforts already underway in the US with privately run conservative “pregnancy care centers”, which are not legally required to follow healthcare privacy laws and and receive state funding in 22 states.

No one is reactionary in this world. Everyone is a liberal by default until the age of 10 where they have to choose between Putin and the free world.
so you're saying the Bolsheviks didn't go far enough and that they missed a Romanov, eh? :lenin-shining:
Hatred of Russians in the West is climbing to levels not seen since the 80's
2x get a lot of trolls so they're understandably ban-happy but that's just ridiculous
Fun fact, more than half of poland's population is in favour of at least returning to the situation that was before the ban, i love living in a free and democratic society and not under oppressive communism
Photo is from when people attended a protest in Krakow, Poland on November 7, 2021 after the death of a 30-year-old woman, Iza, of septic shock in her 22nd week of pregnancy. Iza was denied abortion care despite her condition and that of her unborn baby. (Photo: Beata Zawrzel/NurPhoto via Getty Images)
absolute monsters. of course the main effect of this is that more Polish women will avoid getting healthcare if they think they might be pregnant, and Polish women who actually have miscarriages will be spuriously charged with crimes.
miscarriages are not particularly rare, either, especially when it's a woman's first pregnancy. it's obviously an incredibly traumatic situation already without the abortion gestapo questioning if you just did an illegal abortion.
comment on Jezebel article just :chefs-kiss: :brainworms:
Please don’t spout the Catholic stuff about Poland. Much has changed here, most of Catholics here are in name only. It’s the ruling party that is fundamentalist. The party that was chosen by voters because their predecessors were corrupt to the bone, were running the country into the ground and there was no better choice. Then PiS (the Catholic fundamentalists) created the first real financial support system for families with children, winning people over. This is what keeps them in power - socialism, not religion.
- no better choice
- socialism is when you give families financial support
- socialism is when you ban abortion
The party that was chosen by voters because their predecessors were corrupt to the bone, were running the country into the ground and there was no better choice.
The chairman of the ruling party is literally the identical twin brother of one of the previous presidents.
Poland really doing everything in its power to claim the coveted "most cringe European country" award. Giving the Brits a run for their money
british ppl are totally european. it annoys the chuds amongst them when you say so, so you should say so.
I've only had posh Brits claim they were European and said otherwise to piss them off. Depends on your audience.
:ukkk:
The Brits are fucking island Germans, in the same way the Dutch are bog Germans.
Pretty sure Poland is substantially worse than Britain. In general, the main reason we hear so much more about TERF island being shit is because we can understand their cringe takes without subtitles. We simply don't hear much about when some random Polish politician does a fascism in an interview because they tend to do it in Polish.
Edit: Please do not misunderstand this as me defending Britain :ukkk:
Maybe right now Poland is worse than Britain. But if we take a gander at the all-time scoreboard you'll see that Britain has racked up a truly unparalleled amount of cringe over a career spanning nearly 1000 years. Poland could only dream of having such a huge negative effect on the world
@WhyEssEff wasn't Poland one of your professor's examples of healthy modern democracy? lol
