Thousands Protest in Warsaw Against Liberalization of Abortion Laws

Demonstrators in Poland march to oppose government proposals allowing abortion until the 12th week, amid ongoing legislative debates.

Thousands of anti-abortion demonstrators marched in Warsaw, Poland, protesting the liberal government's plans to allow abortions up to the 12th week.
The march was supported by Poland's Catholic Church, emphasizing the day as one of prayer for 'conceived life'.
Recent legislative moves aim to relax the country's strict abortion laws, which currently permit abortion only in cases of rape, incest, or serious health risks.
President Andrzej Duda is expected to reject the proposed changes, despite parliamentary approval for further consideration.
Proposals under debate include decriminalizing assistance in abortion and allowing termination in cases of fetal defects.
