EU Parliament: Polish abortion ban risks womens' lives
By EUobserver
The European Parliament on Thursday said that the Polish constitutional tribunal's ruling last month to ban almost all legal abortions "puts women's health and lives at risk". In a resolution adopted with 455 votes to 145 and 71 abstentions, MEPs said that the decision was made by "judges who are elected by, and are fully-dependent on, politicians from the ruling coalition led by the Law and Justice Party".
