Countrywide Strike Against Near-total Abortion Ban

People are seen wearing face masks with the symbol of the women's strike movement at a demonstration in front of parliament in Warsaw, Poland on October 28, 2020. In reaction to last week's ruling by the Constitutional Tribunal banning resulting in a near-total ban on abortions in Poland women across the country have been called to go on strike on Wednesday. Today's strike marks the 7th consecutive day of pro-choice protests against the right-wing, Law and Justice controlled government with it's close ties to the Catholic church. Poland's de facto leader and head of the Law and Justice party Jaroslaw Kaczynski has called on nationalist vigilantes to defend churches "at every price" furthering already simmering divisions in the country.
