Justyna Wydrzynska said she sent the pills when she found out the woman was in an abusive relationshipA Polish woman has been sentenced to eight months of community service for illegally helping another woman to have an abortion.
Ms Wydrzynska, who works with Abortion Dream Team, said she had decided to send Ania the pills to give her a choice. She had herself suffered abuse from the father of her children and had kept her own abortion a secret. Since 2020, abortion in Poland has been allowed only in cases of rape or incest or when the pregnancy endangers the health of the mother. Only Malta has stricter abortion laws in the European Union and the decision led to widespread protests in Poland.
