In the article, Matthew Day summarizes the event of Polish women going on strike to protest a proposed abortion ban. Essentially abortion would be forbid in Polish in all cases, except if the life of the mother is threatened. According to Day, the past law used to allow abortion in the cases of rape and incest, but the new proposed one would completely ban it even for women under this circumstances. As stated by Day, on the day of the protest named “Black Monday” tens of thousands of Polish women dressed in black missed work to protest against the new proposed law that would totally ban abortions. The new legislation would impose woman who undergoes the procedure imprisoned and the doctors that performs the procedure would be criminalized.
