Polish abortion law sparks massive protests after pregnant woman's death.

Thousands of people protested across Poland against the country's restrictive abortion law after a woman who was five months pregnant died of sepsis. The protesters vented their fury against the governing Law and Justice party, or PiS, and doctors who refuse to perform abortions even when a woman's life is at risk. 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 and the overall conservative climate have had a chilling effect.
