(Premier Christian News) Poland’s top court has ruled a law allowing abortion of foetuses with congenital defects is unconstitutional.
The decision by the country’s Constitutional Court on Thursday effectively bans terminating pregnancies in cases when birth defects are found and will further limit access to abortions in Poland.
Two judges in the 13-member court did not back the majority ruling.
The ruling came in response to a motion from right-wing politicians who argued that terminating a pregnancy due to such defects violated the provision of the Polish Constitution protecting the life of every individual.
