The court of Poland has ruled that foetal defects no longer constitute cases of abortion.
The Constitution Tribunal’s already-tight restrictions, paired with the latest ruling, almost totally rules out abortion in Poland. The only cases where it is permissible is in cases of incest, rape or when the mother’s health is at risk.
The European commissioner for human rights, Dunja Mijatović, called it a “sad day for women’s rights”, sounding off against the ruling on Twitter.
