abortion law in Poland was already the strictest in Europe, abortion was allowed in only 3 cases:
if the pregnancy was a result of rape or incest
if the mother's health was at risk
in case of foetal defects.
another problem is that there is something called "conscience clause" among Polish doctors which means that they can deny a patient certain treatment if it's against their conscience or beliefs (yes, it mostly applies to conservative, catholic doctors). some doctors went as far as not telling women about foetal defects until it was too late to terminate pregnancy. what's more, abortion in case of rape happens very rarely, since it's difficult to prove rape in the eyes of Polish law.
in 2019, only 1100 legal abortions took place in Poland, a country populated by 38 milion people. 98% of these abortions happened because of foetal defects.
Polish women will be forced to give birth to children with basically no chance to live. they will be tortured physically and mentally. rich women will be able to visit neighbouring countries to have abortion there but there are plenty of women who will have unsafe, illegal abortions, endangering their lives.
there are protests happening all over the country. not for the first time though, we've been protesting abortion ban for few years now. there's a sense of solidarity among us but the truth is, we're afraid.

It’s a Russian Teleplay adaptation of Lord of the Rings with absolutely Perfect special effects (the hobbits are the size of rabbits!)
This adaptation PREDATES the obscure Finnish minsieries adaptation by two years!! (check out my #hobitit and #hobitit hot takes tag if you don’t know what I’m talking about!)
If you’ve been following me for a while you know that I LOVE baffling obscure Lord of the Rings adaptations so much but I’d never even heard of this one!!!!?? How have I never heard of it??
I guess that makes this the *actual* first live-action adaptation of Lord of the Rings?? (Unless there’s yet another even MORE secret obscure adaptation I don’t know about?)
All this time I thought Hobitit was the first live-action adaptation of Lord of the Rings but it wasn’t!!!!??????? My entire world is upside-down…..the world has changed, I feel it in the earth, I feel it in the water, I smell it in the air………this is big news…..I can’t wait til I have time to watch it. I guess I’ll have to learn Russian though since there don’t seem to be English subtitles yet XD
