Poland Pushed Through An Abortion Ban & THe Women Of The Country Are Not Having It

[Me.]

“What's the latest on the protests?

The organisers said many firms had agreed to let women employees take the day off in a protest inspired by a women's strike in Iceland in 1975 and resembling another Polish demonstration held in 2016.

But with no reliable figures available it was impossible to say how widespread the strike was, the BBC's Adam Easton in Warsaw reports.”

“Abortion Rights Protests Paralyze Poland

"The nationwide demonstrations are a challenge to the ruling Law and Justice Party and the Catholic Church”
Protests in Poland against the constitutional court decision to further restrict abortion rights enter their sixth day today with no end in sight"

Today’s protests follow widespread action on the streets of more than 150 Polish cities on Monday. In the capital, Warsaw, demonstrators shut down traffic through the city, flooding major intersections at rush-hour and chanting for the right-wing government to step down.”

17. It took me 40 minutes to figure it out.

You should post a new OP prime time tomorrow with that image.

I salute our sisters.

[Me.]

due to the new SCOTUS? Poland has severe increases in Covid too, this is dangerous for them. That picture may look like the US soon.

[sheshe2]

25. May well be us, Bigman.

They were wearing masks. That is a good thing.

Look at them. Hear them roar.

[Hekate]

23. Well done, Sisters!

Back when Poland wanted to break from Russia and Communism, I supported Lech Walesa’s party — but I was always very uneasy with the conflation of his party and the Roman Catholic church. Sure, it’s traditional and part of Polish identity ... but not all Poles. And as we are about to find out here unless we are careful and lucky, putting religious institutions in charge of secular government is a bad idea.

[Salviati]

26. Right, mixing government and religion is a good way to corrupt them both.

5. Crap

visions of us to come???

Keep out of our bodies!!!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

9. Equal protection under the law.

Fight the bastards in courts and legislatures, first. We should turn this SCROTUS back into a SCOTUS.

12. It's What It May Take

[Laffy Kat]

21. I'm afraid so. nt

[sheshe2]

7. This?

[Me.]

11. That's Excellent

I tried again, it's not working but I thought I'd let you see

[BigmanPigman]

22. I see everyone but two men wearing masks...glad they are staying safe!

[Me.]

30. Good Observation

I didn't catch that

[BigmanPigman]

32. Poland's Covid numbers are scary

so they are putting themselves at risk for a damn good protest(s). They are sligjtly ahead of us with Covid and with Roe v Wade getting struck down.

[sheshe2]

33. Most likely they don't bother to wear a condom either.

[BigmanPigman]

34. I thought of that too.

The one guy is wearing one but it is under his chin. He probably wears a condom knowing it has a hole too.

[msongs]

10. sorry polish men, no more sex with women til the bans are lifted nt

[alwaysinasnit]

14. Yes, indeed. A Lysistrata movement.

[Thekaspervote]

16. Absolutely!! Why should they not have to pay as well

[Cha]

13. TY for this, Me! Good on the People Protesting

for Women's rights!

[SunSeeker]

19. When did Poland become a theocracy? Hope these brave women bring reason back. nt

[Wounded Bear]

31. The Catholic Church has been embedded in European politics for centuries...

It's why Ireland is going through the same fight over abortion right now. The Church was also rather acquiescent on the Holocaust, given that they were perpetrators of anti-Semitism for centuries, too.

It's one of the reasons for the anti-establishment clause in the 1st Amendment, though there are other religions that also try to influence government in toxic ways.

27. They are tired of old white guys and everybody else invading their privacy.

This decision should be up to the woman and those she herself chooses to bring into it.
