Women’s group gets signatures for bill

Krakow’s division of the Committee to Save Women (Komitetu Ratujemy Kobiety) officially gathered the needed amount of signatures for a citizen’s bill for women’s rights and to promote conscious family planning. The bill is a response to the previous months suggested citizen’s bill for a total abortion ban in Poland. The committee realizes that they bill won’t be accepted by the current government, but hope the act will be recognized as a mass scale opposition to the proposed ban. [Love Krakow]
