Abortion rights protests sweep Poland following woman's death.

Women's rights advocates have called for protests in nearly 50 Polish cities demanding a liberalization of the abortion law after a woman in her fifth month of pregnancy died of sepsis, the latest such death since a tightening of Poland's abortion law. Under the current law, women have the right to abortion only in cases of rape or incest or if there is a threat to their life or health. Women's rights advocates argue that the current law has had an especially chilling effect and warn that doctors are putting women's lives at risk as they prioritize saving fetuses over women.
