Join our salon talk this Thursday to discuss the politics of choice in Eastern and Southern Europe and how governments (and civil society) continue to push their anti–sexual and reproductive health and rights agendas. We will be joined by Dr. Marcin Smietana, Dr. Robert Pralat, and Dr. Katie Dow from the Reproductive Sociology Research Group. Despite the Polish parliament’s vote against the bill on total ban on abortion in October, at the beginning of November the parliament adopted the new ‘For Life’ bill. The bill includes payments aimed at reducing abortions. It encourages women to deliver a terminally ill or permanently damaged infant for an allowance worth 4000PLN (around 1000EUR).
