For context: the current Constitutional Court is pretty much a bunch of lapdogs for the ruling, conservative Catholic party.

They tried a few times to introduce a harsher abortion law, but chickened out after extremely widespread protests.

So they figured they'd change the situation via Constitutional Court ruling, while pretending to keep their hands clean.

This is unbelievably evil, but I guess that's how ultra-conservative Catholics roll.

The Constitutional Court of Poland (which includes illegally appointed judges) just made a ruling regarding abortion law.

Abortion in PL is now illegal for p. much ANY reason. Women will be forced to give birth not just to children that result from rape. It'll actually be illegal to abort a foetus without lungs or a brain. No, this is not an exaggeration.

This is a EU country in 2020. Difficult to imagine, right?

Please boost to make this widely known.

To add insult to injury, the annoying demand is laid out in a way that's more attention-grabbing than toots and such:

bright blue button, with an all-caps label;

wider margins, which makes it pop out more (and eat more space) : even though “Never miss a thing” is only 1px bigger than display names, it seems much bigger due to its ample breathing room.
