Women Strike And Protest Over Government Proposal To Tighten Abortion Law

People protesting against a new government measure to further restrict abortions in Poland march as part of 'Black Friday' demonstrations nationwide on March 23, 2018 in Poznan, Poland. The governing PiS party is seeking to enact a law called 'Halt Abortion' that would make abortions based on congenital defects of the foetus illegal. Opponents, among them the women's rights group Dziewuchy Dziewuchom (Girls to Girls), called on women across Poland to go on strike today and gather for protests in cities nationwide. The conservative PiS party is pushing hard on policies based on a strongly Catholic-oriented political orientation and sought to make abortion completely illegal in 2016, though the attempt failed following large-scale protests. Poland currently allows abortion solely in cases of rape and irreparable damage to the foetus. (Footage by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)
