The Sejm did not adopt the motion to reject the parliamentary bill amending the Penal Code regarding partial decriminalization of abortion in the first reading, thus sending it to the extraordinary committee for the consideration of bills on the right to abortion.

The PiS and Konfederacja clubs, as well as 11 PSL MPs, voted to reject the bill. 17 agrarian politicians voted for further work on the project, and 3 abstained. The remaining parties of the ruling coalition unanimously supported sending the bill to the committee.

In the PSL club, Paweł Bejda, Dariusz Klimczak, and Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz abstained from voting.

Those who voted to reject the bill in the first reading were: Marek Biernacki, Adam Dziedzic, Andrzej Grzyb, Mirosław Maliszewski, Urszula Nowogórska, Ireneusz Raś, Wiesław Różyński, Marek Sawicki, Zbigniew Sosnowski, Jacek Tomczak, and Bożena Żelazowska.
