Looking further, the story behind the cover is even more Slay:

Recently, Poland passed the most stringent anti-abortion bill in history.

Even in this special period of the epidemic.

After the passage of the anti-abortion bill, tens of thousands of protesters still appeared on the streets of Poland, just to resist and denounce the unfair bill.

What is the current situation in Poland?

I don't want my womb to be a living coffin

Poland's Supreme Court, on October 22 last year, issued a new anti-abortion bill.

Even if the fetus is defective, even if the fetus is seriously ill and irreversible, women cannot have an abortion.

Before the new abortion bill came into force, the requirements for abortion in Poland were already very stringent.

A pregnant woman may only have an abortion if she has been raped, incested, has a fetal defect, or if the pregnant woman's health is at risk.

"Three Weeks and Two Days in April"

In 2019, Poland, a country with a population of nearly 40 million, had fewer than 2,000 (legal) abortions.

And Ukraine, which has twice as many people next door as Poland, has 100 times as many abortions. This number in Poland is obviously very abnormal.

Of the fewer than 2,000 abortions, 98 percent of applications were based on severe and irreversible defects in the fetus.

Today, after the new abortion ban is imposed, only 30 abortion applications may be approved.

The current ban can be said to have banned almost all the channels of legal abortion in Poland.

Even if a pregnant woman finds a severe fetal deformity, or if the probability of the child surviving is extremely low, the child must be born.

Rowe v. Wade

Suppose a mother, long before her child falls to the ground, knows that the child in her belly is doomed to be unhealthy, and even if she is born, there is a high probability of dying.

But she couldn't have an abortion.

In addition to the exhaustion and discomfort of her body due to pregnancy, she also has to bear huge psychological trauma, which sounds very depressing.

"Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Always"

However, this bill erases their right to say "no" to such a tragic fate.

Must be born.

Because Catholic religion and law hold that unformed children should have "their" "right to life."

And the mother's physical freedom, and even the freedom of life, can all be conceded.

As soon as the bill came out, Polish women and their fellow men took to the streets to protest that women's bodies had lost their freedom to be at their disposal.

A woman shouted, "I don't want my womb, I'm a living coffin."

In addition, from the procession, people can be seen holding signs such as "Enough", "I will not be your martyr", "I want (abortion) choice, don't be afraid" and so on.

This time, it was the largest protest in Poland since the 1980s.

Even in some cities, demonstrators gathered outside Catholic churches chanting:

"This is war."

Words such as "Abortion without borders" and "Blood on hands" were also sprayed on the walls.

Remember, more than 90% of Poles are Catholics.

Protesters making a big fuss over churches would be considered an insult to the clergy, and such an event in this Catholic country is almost unimaginable.

The Polish people, dressed as handmaidens, rushed into the church

Even in Poland today, when the epidemic is fierce, the people should try not to leave their homes to reduce the risk, but tens of thousands of people ignore the danger.

Someone asked:

"These people don't even care about their own lives, is abortion so important?"

They'll tell you, yes.

Not because everyone has a need for abortion.

Rather, it is because the freedom of the individual's will and body is the most basic human right of a person.

Women oppressed by anti-abortion bills, and they

The last time her sister heard something similar was in May 2019.

At that time, many states in the United States passed the "Heartbeat Act".

Catholics and Christians believe that human life begins with a fertilized egg.

Tens of thousands of protesters take to the streets of Poland because "abortion is not free"

Therefore, the Heartbeat Act requires that abortion is not allowed once the fetal heartbeat has been detected.

Even pregnancies due to rape, incest, even if the fetus is stunted or endangers the health of the pregnant woman, there are no exceptions.

How long does it take for a fetal heart rate to be detected?

6 weeks.

6 weeks pregnant, for most pregnant women, there is no physical reaction, just two weeks delay in menstruation.

And girls because of stress, hormone changes, resulting in menstrual delays, it is simply too common.

However, if you do not realize that you are pregnant within 6 weeks, whether it is an accidental pregnancy, you are not able to raise a child, you are not ready to raise a child, or even you have been sexually assaulted, and you will no longer be eligible to say "no".

Among them, the law of Alabama in the United States is the most stringent.

It prohibits women from having abortions at any stage of pregnancy.

Unless pregnancy or childbirth poses a serious threat to the safety of the pregnant woman's life.

The so-called restrictions are not just talk.

In these areas, abortion will be considered murder, while accidental abortion is counted as manslaughter.

In Alabama, if a doctor helps a woman have an abortion, the doctor will face a minimum of 10 years in prison, up to 99 years in prison.

Most rapes are not sentenced more than a doctor who performs surgery, like that?

As a result, as soon as the bill came out, it was resisted by many people, including Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Emma Watson and other well-known celebrities.

Rihanna hung up the bill decision-makers and captioned: Shame on you

However, the public protests have not played any practical role.

Today, 28 states in the United States have enacted laws restricting female abortion to varying degrees.

Some say this is a rapid setback for the United States since the introduction of the Rowe v. Wade (Women's Right to Abortion) Act in 1973.

After all, even South Korea, which has banned abortion for 66 years next door, ruled abortion unconstitutional last year and abolished it.

Unlike European and American countries, which are mostly anti-abortion for religious reasons, in addition to religious reasons, the biggest reason for the ban on abortion in South Korea that year was that the population control was too good, resulting in an ultra-low birth rate.

Women's wombs seem to be about the survival of mankind, the rise and fall of nations, and religious doctrines, but they are not about themselves.

Freedom of abortion is not only about women's freedom

But with this ban, what has changed?

The implementation of the law banning abortion for many years has gradually evolved into a social discrimination against women who have abortions and even unmarried mothers.

Women who are unable to freely choose whether to have children or not are at a disadvantage in the labor market.

"82 Years of Kim Ji-young"

Anti-abortion restrictions have exacerbated inequality between men and women in South Korea, but they have not really prevented people from having abortions.

According to statistics, in 2016 (before the abolition of abortion in South Korea), nearly 500,000 women in South Korea underwent illegal abortions.

In Poland, which had only 2,000 abortions in 2019, 100,000 women went to other countries for abortions.

Anti-abortion bills will not change the need for abortion.

It will only force women who need to have an abortion to either travel far away to where the law allows to have an abortion, or seek help from a black clinic, or simply take their own medicine...

Between 1966 and 1989, Romania banned abortions for women, and about 500,000 women died because they could not undergo regular surgery.

I can't support a bill that would dramatically increase female mortality.

Leaving aside the few cases in which those who become pregnant as a result of rape or incest, ectopic pregnancy can cause maternal and fetal deaths.

Parents who have an unexpected pregnancy and are not ready to be parents, single mothers who are financially poor.... Simply not able to raise a child.

Family of Thieves

Forcing them to give birth to children who are not needed, the children face nothing more than:

Growing up poor, unloved, and abused.

There is a clip from the movie "What a Home":

Zane, a 12-year-old boy, took his parents to court on the grounds that they had given birth to me.

At a young age, I already felt the pain of life.

Children who are not loved and do not have the conditions to receive a good education are likely to become Zane.

If fertility poverty cannot be effectively addressed and abortion is restricted, it will only make some people risk their lives to seek illegal and unsafe abortion channels, making their survival more difficult.

Children born will grow up in an unnoticed and difficult environment, and a large part of them will become unstable factors in society.

Shouting for such a seemingly just reason as "the right not to deprive the fetus of its right to life" and completely ignoring these real difficulties can only be regarded as a hypocritical moral concept.

Abortion humiliation is everywhere

In our country, although there is no anti-abortion bill, the stigmatization of women who have abortions is particularly common.

Tube abortion of the woman's uterus, called the second-hand house.

Men who have interacted with women who have had a history of abortion will be ridiculed as "receivers".

Platforms such as Zhihu and Hupu can also be seen everywhere, "My girlfriend told me that I had an abortion, do I want to accept it?" " of the post.

On the Internet, abortion and homicide are equated,

Using strange and chaotic stories such as "baby spirits will come to get revenge on you" to intimidate people and promote anti-abortion behavior, too much, too much.

Anti-abortion activists preach a freak outrage to prevent people from having abortions

Although women are not deprived of their free reproductive rights by law, but they bind women's bodies with the concept of chastity and morality, it is only fifty steps of laughter.

There are so many people who think that "abortion is guilty", but the evil consequences caused by the lack of sex education in our country are ignored by everyone.

In our country, there are 13 million abortions every year.

Among them, how many people, adhering to the wrong concept of sex, do not do contraception, believe that there is a "safe period" can not be contraceptive, etc., resulting in the situation of unintended pregnancy?

No one would think that abortion is something to be happy about and applaud. People who are really faced with this kind of choice will not think like this.

No one knows the harm of abortion better than the parties, and no one is more heartbroken than the parties and feels inner torment.

At this time, is it necessary to render "abortion is cruel"?

Many people overlook that abortion is mostly the last choice for women who have no way out.

I don't want to choose to give birth to a child because I can't guarantee that I can be responsible for the child's next life, which is not a responsible performance.

"Sex Self-Study Room"

Her sister does not advocate abortion.

I hope that everyone has enough correct sexual knowledge to prevent themselves from facing such a choice.

But when we discuss whether women have freedom to have abortion, we are not on both the pro-abortion side and the anti-abortion side.

We are discussing whether we can support women to protect their fundamental rights.

When they feel that they cannot afford such a heavy life responsibility as motherhood, can they support their right to freedom?

Of course, the most important thing is that I worry that today's anti-abortion will turn into tomorrow's anti-infertility, the day after tomorrow's anti-single.

Then, evolving into, everyone needs to fit tightly into a set of standard molds, one more inch, to be cut off, one inch less, to be filled.

Everyone should have the right to choose their lives freely.
