Poland’s parliament votes to ease abortion ban but faces likely veto from president

Poland's parliament has passed two bills to ease its strict abortion laws, but they are expected to be vetoed by the president. The measures would reduce penalties for aiding abortions and allow terminations for fetal abnormalities. Advocates argue these changes are minimal and won't help women needing abortions now. Protests are planned to demand full decriminalization and better access to abortion services. The current laws only permit abortions in cases of rape, incest, or health risks to the mother. Critics emphasize that Poland's laws are out of sync with EU standards and call for a moratorium on criminal penalties related to abortion care.
