“March 20 2007, LifeSiteNews.com reported that a woman who had been denied an abortion in Poland had sought and won damages against the Polish government in the European Court of Human Rights. . . Eva Kowalewska, President of the Forum of Polish Women, called the Court’s decision “the greatest legal curiosum in Court history of the European Council.”
Speaking in Heidelberg, Poland’s Deputy Prime Minister and Education Minister, Roman Giertych, called abortion “a new form of barbarism”, and warned “A nation which kills its children is a nation without a future. A continent which kills its children will be settled by people who do not kill theirs” (Endeavour Forum Inc Newsletter, May 2007).
Melanie McDonagh wrote in The Times of 6 June 07: “In Poland, where the abortion laws were radically tightened after Communism – an epidemiologist’s dream of a nationwide experiment in public health – there was a national drop in the rate of premature birth from about 7 per cent to about 3 per cent.”
