Pro-Choice

This was vomit & rage inducing.

On the eighth floor of Warsaw’s historic PAST-a building, the skyscraper symbol of the city’s 1944 uprising against Nazi occupation, a glass door displaying a giant golden lion welcomes visitors to the Ordo Iuris headquarters.

Nikodem Bernaciac, 27, a trainee attorney, described the institute’s vision: “You can't sacrifice an innocent child for some ‘bad mood’, that may last for weeks or months.”

That is why, he explained, “We would like to give Polish judges this possibility to punish women committing abortion,” because, “Now there is some kind of automatism according to which every woman who committed abortion is automatically innocent.”

There are some women, he says, who might need to abort. “Of course, they can decide to kill their babies to save their own life, they have the choice,” but there are also other “types of women”, he states, who should be punished. “The women that make political declarations about their abortion.”
