Riaghailtean casg-breith sa Phòlainn

Tha cuid de na riaghailtean as teinne a thaobh casg-breith sa Roinn ·¡Ã²°ù±è²¹ ri fhaighinn sa Phòlainn. Chan eil e ri fhaotainn ach a mhàin ann an cuid a shuidheachaidhean leithid ma tha slàinte a’ bhoireannaich ann an cunnart, ma dh’fhàs am boireannach trom an dèidh dhith a bhith air a h-èigneachadh neo ma tha rudeigin fìor cheàrr leis a’ ghinean. Chaidh na mìltean a thogail fianais air sràidean na dùthcha air a’ mhìos a chaidh airson cuir an aghaidh phlanaichean airson cha mhòr casg-breith a chasg gu tur. Fhuair iad èisteachd an uairsin agus bhòt buill pàrlamaid an aghaidh nam planaichean. Ach chan e seo deireadh na cùis. Chuir an riaghaltas lagh ùr troimhe gu sgiobalta às dèidh làimh airson boireannaich a bhrosnachadh leanabain a tha ciorramach a chumail, rud a tha a’ cur a’ chaoich air luchd-iomairt.

Abortion laws in Poland

Poland currently has among the tightest abortion laws in Europe. A woman can only have an abortion of there is a threat to her life, where the pregnancy is a result of rape or if there is severe or irreversible damage to the foetus. Thousands took to the streets last month to protest against plans for a near total ban on abortion. They were listened to and MPs voted against the plans. But the issue isn’t over. The government rushed through new legislation shortly afterwards to provide incentives to women who choose to give birth to disabled children, a measure that has angered campaigners.
