Polish women's rights groups in Warsaw have protested against the parliament's rejection of a bill aimed at changing the country's restrictive abortion law. Several women's groups organised the protest on Tuesday, the final day of session for the Sejm, Poland's lower house of parliament, before the summer recess began. On 12 July, the lower house rejected the bill decriminalising abortion, which stated that anyone who assisted a woman in terminating her pregnancy would not face prosecution, with 215 MPs voting in favour and 218 voting against. "We are here because we want to show that abortion...

A slim majority rejected the bill that would have eased the strict anti-abortion law: 218 lawmakers voted against decriminalising performing or assisting an abortion, 215 voted for it and two abstained. Tusk and his liberal Civic Coalition parliamentary caucus supported the bill. It means that those found guilty of aiding an abortion will continue to face up to three years in prison. The liberalisation was a key element in Tusk’s programme of reversing various policies of the previous right-wing government that have drawn massive protests. However, some lawmakers of the wider ruling coalition ...

The protest, under the slogan "Children are not mothers," saw demonstrators wearing black and holding candles. Critics highlight that late-term abortions often involve child rape victims. Proposed by Sóstenes Cavalcante of the Liberal Party, the bill's vote is delayed due to widespread backlash and protests, and may not occur until next year.

By Ritika Jain The Delhi High Court’s u-turn on an order permitting a woman abortion after All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS) said foeticide was unethical in late-stage pregnancy has raised concerns. The high court on January 23 recalled its January 4 order after AIIMS expressed ethical concerns over aborting a foetus that is “grossly normal”. The Centre, too, had appealed for a recall seeking protection for the “unborn child”. In India, the Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) Act allows for women (including cis genders) to opt for abortion up to 24 weeks. Beyond that, they must...

By Ritika Jain Delhi High Court on January 19 will likely decide on the Centre’s plea seeking a recall of its order permitting a woman to abort her pregnancy amid mental health concerns. The Centre challenged the high court’s January 4 order and sought protection for the unborn child. The Centre’s plea comes two weeks after the high court permitted a woman to abort her pregnancy after taking note of medical reports that diagnosed her as suffering from extreme trauma and depression because of her husband’s death. The woman, a 26-year-old, lost her husband in October 2023 barely seven months aft...

On Tuesday, Ohio voters approved an amendment to the state’s constitution protecting the right to an abortion and reproductive health services. The vote comes after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe V. Wade, which guaranteed a woman’s right to an abortion nationwide.

The measure was app...

By Ritika Jain Supreme Court today denied permission to a married woman with post-partum depression to terminate her almost 27-week foetus. “AIIMS has sought for a direction to stop the heart of the foetus and the court is averse to passing such a direction," the top court said. “The petitioner also doesn't wish to do the same,” Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud said while reading out the order. “Permitting the termination of the pregnancy at this stage would violate the rules of the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act since there’s no immediate threat to the mother and this is not a case...

By Ritika Jain Supreme Court allowed a married woman’s plea to terminate her pregnancy despite medical reports suggesting that the baby had a viable chance of being born. The top court noted the woman’s determination to continue with the termination of the pregnancy observing that “at the end of the day, it was the her choice” and it “would not step on her shoes”. The Centre on October 10 sought a recall of the Supreme Court’s October 9 order allowing abortion after AIIMS Delhi - which was tasked with executing the termination of the pregnancy - said there was a viable chance for the baby's su...

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) defended Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s (R-Alabama) blockade of hundreds of military promotions in protest to a Defense Department policy on abortion. Tuberville has been holding up the standard military confirmation process since May. The senator is opposing a policy that allows service members to request leave for “non-covered reproductive health services,” which include abortions and in-vitro fertilization. Though some hard-right GOP members have voiced support for Tuberville, many centrist Republicans have pleaded for him to stand down. Major branches of the U.S. mil...
