Polish Women Protest Strict Abortion Law After Pregnant Woman's Death

Thousands of people protested across Poland against the country's restrictive abortion law after a woman in her fifth month of pregnancy died of sepsis, the latest such death since a tightening of the law. Poland's abortion laws, among the strictest in Europe, have provoked mass protests in recent years. The death of the 33-year-old named Dorota Lalik in May has stoked anti-government sentiment among many liberal Poles in advance of elections due in October or November.
