Feminist and abortion activists have launched a series of protests against a proposed law in Poland banning abortions that target babies with disabilities.<\/p>\n

The proposed legislation, drafted<\/a> by parliamentarian Kaja Godek, would protect babies with disabilities such as Down syndrome from being selected for elimination. The bill will be debated by legislators in Sejm on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The international abortion lobby has organized a series of protests but complain that Poland is taking advantage of the coronavirus lockdown to move the legislation forward while mass demonstrations are forbidden.<\/p>\n

Instead, activist Marta Lempart and Polish Women\u2019s Strike have organized<\/a> a live 8-hour \u201cprotest without interruption\u201d on Facebook, to feature 48 guests.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, masked activists from Dziewuchy London covered the Polish Embassy in London with homemade cardboard banners<\/a>. Pro-abortion activists in Wroclaw have organized protests<\/a> in grocery store lines and while also carrying out direct protests in their vehicles<\/a> and on bicycles.<\/p>\n

Krystyna Kacpura, the director of the Federation for Women and Family Planning, said in a press release<\/a>: \u201cThis is a cruel blow for women, given in the worst times ever. We will protest in any possible manner.\u201d<\/p>\n

Abortion activists have been attempting to remove restrictions on at-home abortions during the pandemic while pushing for abortion to be recognized as an \u201cessential\u201d service, backed by groups like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch<\/a>.<\/p>\n
