[repost The Left EU] What does an illegal abortion clinic look like?
In Warsaw, just steps from the Polish Parliament, stands the country’s first abortion clinic. A colourful place of care, resistance, and solidarity. Run by courageous feminist activists, it offers what the state refuses: access to safe, self-managed abortions.
A delegation from The Left visited the clinic and brought abortion pills in solidarity, but it is not enough. The need is relentless, and the supply cannot keep up.
This is not freedom. This is not democracy. It’s a systematic violation of human rights.
We want safe and accessible abortions — for everyone, everywhere.
