Kaczyński on Abortion: This Ruling is Entirely Consistent with the Constitution. What's More, in Light of the Constitution, No Other Ruling Was Possible

Michał Olech

On October 22nd, the Constitutional Tribunal issued a ruling on the compatibility with the Constitution of a provision from the 1993 act, which prohibits abortion but allows it under certain circumstances, including severe prenatal damage to the child or in cases of severe illness leading to death. This ruling is entirely consistent with the Constitution. What's more, in light of the Constitution, no other ruling on this matter could have been issued. Let me remind you that this Constitution was adopted by the parliament in the years '93-'97, passed in 1997. It was a parliament in which the left had a majority, a very significant majority - stated Jarosław Kaczyński in a recording published on social media.
