Polish Parliament rejects abortion bill

Warsaw, June 23 (UNI/Sputnik) The lower house of Poland's parliament has rejected the bill that proposed to legalize pregnancy termination.
The first reading of the draft law, which implied a liberalization of legislation that regulates the issue of pregnancy termination, began on Wednesday with debates extending until late at night. The vote on the bill took place on Thursday. A total of 265 lawmakers of the parliament voted against the motion, 175 voted in favor and 4 abstained.
The document drafted by the civil initiative "legal abortion without compromise" provided, among other things, the right to a free legal abortion up to the 12th week of pregnancy. The bill implied that the decision to terminate a pregnancy could be made independently from the age of 13.
