Polish activist appeals conviction for providing abortion pills.

Justyna Wydrzynska, a Polish activist and co-founder of Abortion Dream Team, has been found guilty of facilitating an abortion and plans to appeal her sentence. Poland has some of the most restrictive abortion laws in Europe, allowing termination only in cases of incest, rape, or if the mother's health is at risk. The trial has drawn international condemnation from human rights groups and politicians, with concerns about its implications within the context of the Roe vs Wade ruling in the United States. The verdict has been criticized as politically motivated and a move to avoid unrest and reverberations in elections later this year.
