Abortion: Polish court considers stricter rules

Abortion in Poland is only allowed in very specific circumstances, when the woman's life is in danger, if there is severe or fatal foetal impairment and in incidents of rape or incest. Now Poland's constitutional court is considering whether to further restrict those criteria, a move supported by the governing right-wing Law and Justice (PiS) party. Here is the reaction of Antonina Lewandowska who is a sexual and reproductive health and rights activist.
