AFP - Polish lawmakers decided Friday to press ahead with work on draft legislation banning abortions altogether, even for women who were raped, are carrying deformed babies or face health risks.
The parliament of Poland, which already has one of Europe's strictest anti-abortion laws, dismissed a bid by a left-wing party to drop the law project, instead sending it to a committee for further work.
The draft had been submitted to parliament by anti-abortion activists, drawing support from about 450,000 petitioners from the conservative opposition as well as a rightist, liberal party in the ruling coalition.
