WARSAW, POLAND - 2023/06/14: A woman holds a placard that reads "Stop killing us!" during the demonstration. Under the slogan "Not One More!" (Ani Jednej Wiecej!), thousands of Poles took to the streets in Warsaw and in numerous cities across the country to protest once again the tightened abortion law after the death of another pregnant woman in a Polish hospital. Dorota Lalik, 33, died on May 24, 2023, in the John Paul II hospital in Nowy Targ, a town in southern Poland. She arrived at the hospital after her water broke and was told to lie with her legs up. She died of sepsis there three days later. Dorota Lalik's case is the latest one of a woman dying in a hospital that tried to maintain a pregnancy due to the presence of a fetal heartbeat until it was too late to save the woman's life. It comes following a controversial tightening of Poland's already restrictive abortion law more than two years ago that led to mass protests in the country. The constitutional court ruled in 2020 that women could no longer terminate pregnancies in cases of severe fetal deformities, including Down syndrome. Women's rights advocates warn that doctors are putting women's lives at risk as they prioritize saving pregnancies over women, either for ideological reasons or fearing legal consequences for themselves.
