The new abortion law in Poland has tightened the rules that are already among the strictest in Europe. To date, the European Court of Justice has received over 1000 complaints.
Poland has to face questions from the European Court of Justice because of the tightening of its abortion law. As the court announced on Thursday, Poland was informed of twelve complaints in Strasbourg on Monday.
In October, the Polish Constitutional Court ruled that women are not allowed to have an abortion even if the unborn child has severe malformations.
The Polish government now has to provide answers by mid-September. The cases are given priority. According to the court, over 1000 complaints have already been received against the new abortion regulations in Poland.
The new abortion law has tightened rules that are already among the strictest in Europe. Previously, an abortion was legal in Poland if the pregnancy endangers the life or health of the mother, is the result of rape or if the unborn child has severe malformations.
The European Court of Human Rights, based in Strasbourg, France, is part of the Council of Europe. The bodies that are independent of the European Union work together to protect human rights in the 47 member states.
