Polish women on strike

Can't imagine any other government would bring up a highly controversial issue in the middle of the pandemic and risk mass rallies. But this is happening in Poland now. Despite tight corona restrictions thousands of desperate and angry protesters across Poland flood the streets every day in opposition to a ruling that could lead to a near total ban on abortion. Today many women took a day off to go on strike. The line has been crossed and women are not going to back down. They block the towns chanting:
- Nothing can stop angry women!
- Enough is enough!
- PiS off!  (PiS = the ruling right wing Law and Justice party)
- I wish I could abort my government!
- This is war!


“When others were getting ready for a war with the virus, you were getting ready for a war with the nation,” said Donald Tusk, the former president of the European Council and a leading opposition figure, in comments directed against the government on Twitter. “Back out before a tragedy occurs."

Hope the protesters reach their goals and manage to stop the barbarism taking Poland back to the Middle Ages.
