WARSAW, Poland, July 4, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Thursday’s debate on a citizens’ bill to totally ban abortion in Poland saw** over 40 Polish parliamentarians** from numerous parties take to the floor to support the measure, giving powerful, and** often extremely** personal statements.
Poland’s lower house supported the bill Friday in a vote of 254-151, agreeing to send it to** a committee** for** further** examination. The bill was put** before parliament as a result** of a** massive grassroots initiative** that secured 600,000 signatures in** two weeks**.
The bill would* remove all*** three exceptions from Poland’s current abortion law, which allows the deadly practice where the child is diagnosed with a serious defect or disease, where the mother is diagnosed with a health problem, or where the pregnancy resulted from “illegal activity.”
MP Wojciech Kossakowski called abortion the “modern day slaughter of the innocents.” “How** monstrously egotistical**, devoid of the smallest drop of humanity, you have to be to agree to murder under the auspices of law,” he said.
