Poland’s “strictest abortion law” officially came into force, and the public launched another protest.

AFP on January 28th, a controversial ruling of the Polish High Court officially came into effect on Wednesday local time.

The “new abortion law” prohibits almost all abortions, except in cases where rape, incest or the mother’s health is at risk.

After the ruling came into effect, the Polish people launched a new round of protests.

According to the report, protesters in Warsaw, Poland, lit red flares, waved rainbow flags associated with the LGBT community, and waved slogans with the words “This means war” and “Free choice, don’t be horrible”.

Last year, 98% of legal abortions in Poland were performed due to fetal malformations, and the latest ruling prohibits such acts.

On November 3 last year, after nearly two weeks of national protests, the Polish government said it would postpone the publication and implementation of the ruling.
