Polish MPs backed reducing penalties for helping someone get an abortion, but a veto is possible. What would reassure you if someone close needed similar care?

Poland’s lower parliamentary chamber passed two abortion-reform bills on 20 October. One would reduce criminal penalties connected with abortion assistance. The other would restore access in cases of severe foetal abnormalities. The country’s president could still veto the legislation. The vote therefore did not settle which changes would take effect.
