The Sinn Fein MEP Lynn Boylan has described moves by the Polish government to impose a near total ban on abortions as “barbaric”. She was speaking today at a protest inside the European Parliament that was organised by Polish civil society groups. They’re campaigning against their government’s attempts to push through a law criminalising abortions. Those found guilty of having an abortion could face up to 5 years in prison. Critics of the proposal by the governing Law and Justice party, claim that a women who suffers a miscarriage could be suspected of having a termination. Ms Boylan says this legislation would erode women’s human rights.
