- I would appeal to the Episcopate, but generally to everyone who speaks on the subject of the [abortion] guidelines, to read them, because there is a lot of untrue information in the public sphere and in public opinion - stated Izabela Leszczyna in an interview with Marcin Fijołek on Polsat News's "Graffiti".

As the Minister of Health said: - These guidelines do not change the law in any way. We, as the Ministry of Health, are only providing an interpretation of how these regulations should be read. If the Episcopate or other critics of these solutions wanted stricter anti-abortion laws, they had 8 years to do so. They did so with regard to lethal defects, but they did not touch upon the aspect of the woman's life or health.
