WARSAW, Poland, July 4, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Thursday’s debate on a citizens’ bill to totally ban abortion in Poland saw over 40 Polish parliamentarians from numerous parties take to the floor to support the measure, giving powerful, and often extremely personal statements.
Poland’s lower house supported the bill Friday in a vote of 254-151, agreeing to send it to a committee for further examination. The bill was put before parliament as a result of a massive grassroots initiative that secured 600,000 signatures in two weeks.
The bill would remove all three exceptions from Poland’s current abortion law, which allows the deadly practice where the child is diagnosed with a serious defect or disease, where the mother is diagnosed with a health problem, or where the pregnancy resulted from “illegal activity.”
MP Wojciech Kossakowski called abortion the “modern day slaughter of the innocents.” “How monstrously egotistical, devoid of the smallest drop of humanity, you have to be to agree to murder under the auspices of law,” he said.
