WARSAW, Poland, June 28, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - After months of shielding the initiative from English media, organizers of a** massive pro-life** grassroots campaign in Poland have now told LifeSiteNews.com that Parliamentarians in the country are preparing to vote this week on an historic bill that would enshrine total protection for children in the womb from the** moment** of conception.
Abortion was first foisted on the deeply Catholic people of Poland** after Hitler’s tanks stormed** the country 70 years ago; but the** demise** of the Nazis was followed by decades of state-promoted abortion-on-demand under their Soviet successors.
This project is a chance to* finally reject** the** heritage of Nazism** and Communism which brought ‘legal abortion’ to Poland in the** first** place,” Jacek Sapa of the PRO Foundation told LifeSiteNews. “It was** Hitler** and Stalin who imposed it on Poles and** it’s high time we clearly disassociate ourselves** from those deadly ideologies**.”***
To bring the abortion ban before Parliament under Poland’s political system, the sponsors* needed** to collect 100,000 signatures within three months. They got 600,000 in two weeks.*
The Church* clearly*** teaches that it is the obligation of Catholics not to protect the current ‘compromise’ but to aim at complete protection of life,” said Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz, former** personal assistant** to Blessed John Paul II, in an interview for Gosc Niedzielny, Poland’s largest opinion weekly. “This is a solution, which the Church calls for. I support all efforts aiming at improving the protection of human life.”
