A protester making gestures during the 's top court has ruled that a law allowing abortion of fetuses with congenital defects is unconstitutional. The decision by the country's Constitutional Court on Thursday effectively bans terminating pregnancies in cases where birth defects are found and will further limit access to abortions in Poland. Poland's abortion laws were already among the strictest in Europe but the Constitutional Tribunal's ruling will mean an almost total of people spontaneously gathered outside the Constitutional Court to protest the new law.
