WARSAW, June 14 (Reuters) - Abortion rights supporters marched through several cities in Poland on Wednesday after the death of a pregnant woman whose family believe she could have survived if she had been offered a termination.

Protesters chanted "stop killing us" as they marched through the capital Warsaw towards the health ministry headquarters, some carrying placards that said "We want doctors, not missionaries" and "Hell for women," a common slogan used to convey how the measure affects those who are carrying an unwanted or dangerous pregnancy.

Poland's anti-abortion laws, among the strictest in Europe, have provoked mass protests in recent years and the death of the 33-year-old named as Dorota in May has stoked anti-government sentiment among many liberal Poles ahead of elections due in October or November.

In 2021, the nationalist government of Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki put into effect a constitutional court decision banning terminations of pregnancies with foetal defects, as conservative policies increasingly take root in one of Europe's most devout Catholic countries.

Abortion rights activists have said that there were at least five cases of pregnant women dying whose families came out to the media, blaming the restrictions on abortion for their deaths.

Last month, Dorota died of septic shock in a hospital after her water broke in the 20th week of pregnancy. Her husband said nobody informed them of the option to induce a miscarriage, even though the child had very low chances of survival.

In 2021, a 30-year-old woman in the 22nd week of pregnancy, named Izabela, also died of septic shock after doctors waited for her unborn baby's heart to stop beating.

"We've had enough ... we protested when we found out about the death of Izabela almost two years ago and at the time we shouted 'not one more,'" Agnieszka Czerederecka, a founder of the Women's Strike movement in Warsaw, told Reuters. She added that there were protests in around 80 cities.

Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party leader said that by law women could have abortions if there was any threat to their life or health.

"There is no such issue. It's been made up," he said in response to journalists' questions on Wednesday, accusing critics of the policy of "propaganda" and creating an "imaginary reality."

However, critics say that since the Constitutional Tribunal ruling, doctors have been more reluctant to perform terminations even in such cases.

A poll by IBRiS for private Radio Zet showed this week over 70% of Poles believe the strict abortion rules constitute a potential threat to women's life and health.

"I hope the law will change and I will not be afraid to get pregnant in Poland," said Joanna Jędrasiak, 36, an economist.

"I would like to have children very much, and to experience pregnancy, give birth to a healthy child, without the kind of problems that a few women have had and whom we commemorate here today."

Who the fuck thought this was a good idea?

Scientists in Poland have reportedly developed lab tests that can detect whether people have taken abortion pills—and those tests are already being used to investigate pregnancy outcomes under the country’s abortion ban. This is an alarming development, to say the least, and unfortunately, it feels like it’s only a matter of time before a U.S. state replicates the effort. According to a bone-chilling piece in the New York Times, Polish scientists have developed tests that can identify both mifepristone and misoprostol, the drugs typically used in a medication abortion. (Though some people do use misoprostol alone.) The studies were part of a research project funded by the Polish government where researchers were able to find evidence of misoprostol in the placenta and mifepristone in a woman’s blood sample. A spokesperson for a prosecutor’s office in Wroclaw confirmed to the Times that Polish authorities have already used the tests to investigate pregnancy outcomes.

god damnit poland.

When abortion is banned, every miscarriage and stillbirth becomes a potential crime scene, and Poland is taking its already dystopian anti-abortion surveillance state to the next level. Poland created a national pregnancy registry in June 2022 and recently had police search the sewers for a fetus to try and prove a woman lied about having a miscarriage. In that case, the police collected her underwear, scissors she used to cut the umbilical cord, and blood from her floor for the investigation. They even wanted to funnel the contents of her home’s septic tank, but cleaners refused. Police claimed the woman lost her pregnancy “as a result of criminal actions” and prosecutors opened proceedings against her, only to drop them months later.

this is the type of shit that conservatives want in America so badly and they will stop at nothing to make sure it happens. this shit is vile.

On the anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising, it's important to remember the remarkable role that women played in this tragic and heroic event. Thousands of women participated in the uprising, which began on August 1, 1944, taking on various roles, from frontline soldiers to medics and couriers.

The Roles of Women in the Warsaw Uprising:

Soldiers: Women fought on the front lines, often alongside men. They were members of regular units of the Home Army as well as spontaneously formed volunteer units. Many women, who had been involved in underground activities during the occupation, took up arms to fight for the freedom of the capital when the uprising broke out.

Medics and Doctors: Women made up the core of the medical staff. They worked in field hospitals, providing aid to the wounded, often under extremely difficult conditions. They frequently risked their lives to evacuate the injured from under fire. Their courage and dedication were invaluable, and some were posthumously honored for their heroism.

Couriers and Messengers: Couriers and messengers played a crucial role, carrying orders, messages, and supplies between units. They often moved through areas under fire, exposing themselves to great danger. Without their invaluable services, communication between units would have been significantly hindered.

Women in the Resistance Movement: Even before the uprising, many women were involved in the resistance movement, engaging in underground education, publishing activities, diversion, and sabotage. Their work was crucial for organizing the armed action.

Notable Women of the Uprising:

Among the women who fought in the uprising, several stand out, such as:

Krystyna Krahelska ("Danuta") - a poet, medic, and author of the song "Hey Boys, Bayonet on the Gun!". She was rescuing a wounded colleague when she was shot three times in the chest and died on August 2, 1944.

Anna Zakrzewska ("Biała Hanka") - served with the Polish underground army as a courier and a medical orderly. She was killed in the course of desperate combat during the Uprising.

Elżbieta Zawacka ("Zo") - one of the few female paratroopers of the "Silent Unseen" (a special forces unit), a courier, later a brigadier general. She survived the war and died in 2009 at the age of 99.

Wanda Traczyk-Stawska ("Pączek") - a marksman in the "Parasol" unit, later a psychologist and social activist. She is still alive and remains a prominent figure, advocating for historical memory and social justice issues.

How do you feel about white Europeans telling people who aren’t European they can’t speak on things like racism across Europe? There’s a white European radfem from Germany on here who is constantly getting so weirdly pissed and defensive when Americans on here discuss racism that’s prevalent throughout Europe. And as a dark skinned Indian-American woman I experienced a fuck ton of racism when I studied abroad in many European countries. My study abroad program was set in Spain back in 2018, but when I visited France one weekend I had off my classes, I overheard a French couple comment about how dark my skin was saying something like “dark skinned people always look so dirty and they must never be clean.” I have never once forgotten the deflated and exhausted feeling that remark made me feel. I remember being excited on that day because as someone studying linguistics I was there to broaden my horizons about their culture and language and yet I had such a bad experience there. But anyway, after having that experience (and others) I’m just confused as to why as an “American” we wouldn’t be allowed to comment on the horrific racism seen in European countries. She has a recent post about this too and I feel like this is such a weird time to post something like that knowing how many white Europeans have just been exposed for being racist. I know you’re middle eastern living in Germany so I wondered your opinion on this.

i always hate when ppl pretend that theres noooooooo way to have any awareness of the state of a country unless u actively are living in it. first of all as u mentioned, plenty of people living in europe are not european and its weird telling us that we cant speak on what we have experienced in europe bc we arent from there. ive also experienced several instances of racism in the european countries ive lived in and if someone told me "ur not european dont talk about it" i would just think thats a weird way of silencing the group of ppl often facing racism in europe. secondly, some aspects of racism in other nations can easily be confirmed and are things ppl can learn about without having actively lived in that country. i didnt need to visit ukraine or poland to know theyve got a racism problem for example bc the news i was reading on how poc were treated in life-threatening situations (when students of colour were trying to leave ukraine whn the war started, for example) is enough to give me that impression. comparatively, i dont need to live in the southern US to know that the southern US has a racism problem....several news on that part of the world, information from poc in the south, and the history of southern US is enough to clue me in on that.

that said, i can get being frustrated if people are speaking on something and act like theyre quite informed but actually are not. sometimes people rely entirely on stereotypes and speak on experiences in certain parts of the world without having actual understanding of it. i have seen that too and it does annoy me at times when ppl discuss things in my region as if theyre quite informed on it when theyre actually not accurately reflecting our realities. so i can understand such a comment in certain contexts but also, people are far better informed about europe than they are informed about idk south africa. so sometimes that statement can just be a way of dismissing opinions u dont like, but in some cases it at least is a reaction to real ignorance. so my feelings on it depend on the context

[riverdeities]

my mom is slowly embracing misandry and i fucking love it

she tells me more and more often about how she hates men and wishes we could live away from them, on our own. she's growing tired of her bf's and my brother's bullshit (a whole other issue im not comfortable discussing in a tumblr post) and she is just so, so tired of males.

lately we discussed the opression of women that spanned whoke generations (it sparked after i sent her a link to the lyrics of paris paloma's "labour") and it just shocked me how much our views were similar. my mom is not a radfem, most likely identifies as 'feminst' but doesn't really engage in any kind of activism, online or offline. she's just a normal, 50 yo woman, tired of this whole charade, tired of men. she divorced my misogynistic, conservative father almost 10 years ago, after he said me and her have no value because we are women, and she continued to support me, get me educated, care for me. she is such a strong woman and i love her.

idk where i was really going with all of this, but i just love her to bits. she is the person closest to me in my life and i am so glad we share the same beliefs.

i've been more open about my radfem beliefs with her lately, and so far she's agreed with pretty much all of it. she is a woman who was raised in a communist times in Poland. there is hope for women - we (and our mothers) are the hope.

Hate with all of its synonyms in the English language will never be enough to even approximately describe how much I fucking despise yours and your fanbases and your country's sheer existence and every dickhead self proclaimed rad who cheers on you, defends you and kisses your ass like they're paid for it. The sheer fact that you can admit with your full chest that you can look deeply into the eyes of a man, who would cross a river of shit and blood for a couple bucks and send an another batch of greedy zombies you yanks defend as martyrs because their student loans apparently cost several innocent lives as long as the lives aren't white yanks, and see this empty void that's blind to rivers of gore he causes to flow for a living, and turn a blind eye yourself and get next to zero backlash - it all proves to me American left is nothing but a parody of itself. And when you did receive some criticism it was either from foreigners whose opinions are like a third of a yanks opinion to all you or from those eager to witness "drama" before they switch to something more entertaining.

My country hasn't suffered from imperialism in like 700 years or so. My country's wealth and identity is built on bones that were burnt to dust to warm the homes of the "most hospitable nation" - like millions of adyghe, jews, romani, ukrainians, tatars, koreans, kalmyks to name a few and those countless others whose names were lost to time because they were forced to abandon them to accept the 'correct' identity and the 'correct' religion. And that is if we don't consider foreign invasions that didn't end in destruction of culture and national identity like the coup in Afghanistan and occupation of Finland, Poland and attempts to colonise Mongolia. Finding a leftist here - even simply a liberal-leaning anybody - let alone those who know of and acknowledge at least a fraction of those atrocities I mentioned and do care is nigh impossible. Some of them can be met among radfems. Some. A lot cannot even attempt to give a fuck about ongoing struggles of fellow women in other countries, only caring to look into news to say "oh, thank god white men aren't as barbarian!". But even in these more xenophobic circles, If i ever dared to hint on happily making babies with my beautiful jakey boy who sends new meat to bomb Ukrainian villages off the face of the earth, even if there would be a couple of snarky voices in my support here and there, my shit would be shut down faster in most communities before I could even say hi. Can you imagine me posting something on here? I would be thrown to the wolves, and I would say rightfully so, but seeing as how you are being treated - no it's not. Oh yanks are so quick to pass judgement on what happens everywhere else. Our little American boys are being sent to war - they're brainwashed, they're victims, they're helpless and are trying to survive. YOUR men are going to war - because they're soulless bloodthirsty colonisers. Our politicians is our only choice, our system is flawed, we have to pick the lesser of two evils - for us, of course, for those who are being killed for our wealth and prosperity nothing will change. Your politicians have power because they were picked by a fash majority - absolute majority, almost everybody, actually. Our veterans were fighting for our freedom in countries that couldn't possibly win a war against us by themselves. Your veterans are willing enforcers of imperialism.

I, honestly, already forgot how and when I wanted to end this. It's 8 am and I'm sick. But if there is a God, if hell is real, and if he ever discovers a sense that he only ever expected us to have in a fit of unimaginable egoism - that is shame, and if the eternal hellfire is my destination, then I hope I'll die shortly before you - and I get to see you both fall into the deepest pits of hell, and all I'll be missing is knowledge that his body was torn to pieces by wild animals who are returning to blooming gardens of Palestine and Afghanistan where people regardless of who they are are free to rest, walk and sing - from then and forever.

I do wish you to read my response. But I don't expect much from you. All I will definitely receive is either a snarky response along the lines of "omggg you're so obsessed with me teehee" or "wow okay crazyy are you done yet?" or a pathetic defensive rant painting you and your piece of human shit jakey as the victim, proving my point. If you'll even read this before blocking me. You won't. I know you fucking won't. I don't even know why I'm writing this now. But I hope you get at least a glimpse of how much I hate you and everybody, everywhere who thinks like you. See you in hell.

A heinous rape in Italy sparked calls to introduce forced chemical castration. But does it work? | Euronews

Chemical castaration appears to already exist in Poland. Can radfems from Poland or Italy provide some insight?

And what do you all think?

[femailment]

do you live in poland (i got that idea from some of your posts but idk if it's the right one)? if yes, what has your experience been as a jewish woman in poland? and generally speaking, if you're a part of any european jewish community as of now, does it feel welcoming to you as a lesbian and a radfem? thanx

I am not from Poland, you're probably confusing me with someone else. I am of polish Jewish ancestery among other things but I don't think I've ever mentioned that.

[radfemnacho]

What do you mean by my “white privilege”?

You mean that after my ancestors were literal slaves and my country was occupied for a couple of centuries, our families died in Nazi death camps and if we migrated to the West we were treated as fucking subhuman(and still are, but fortunately not that much), my country is still depentent on USA/Russia and poor I have a privilege because... if I went to USA I wouldn’t be so suspicious for the cops? (and this never happens because I’m just too poor and I wouldn’t have a permission to go there) I’m really interested in USA debate on racism and cultural appropriation, western colonialism etc... but I don’t know why in the Internet everybody acts like we eastern Europeans and our Balkan neighbours are still considered privileged the same way.  We never had colonies, WE were slaves also. Why are we considered “the oppressors” in Internet discussions if our history, our wealth and oppoturnities are in no fucking way similiar to what you consider “white”? Also I don’t want to claim that we have the same problems or history as black or indigenous people in the WEST(TM) world. I know colonization still affects people’s lives to this day and it’s fullfilled with real tragedies. I really want to know how me being white is considered being at the same level of privilege as white folks in countries where it applies to in a country where there’s never been systemic oppression of other races and we never colonized shit. I mean there’s no coincidence Slavs and slaves sound so similar, we have very different backgrounds and still are affected by USSR’s hegemony in XXth century. And I mean white=privilege doesn’t stick as much to us, I guess it’s US-centric point of view but I also don’t want to be a dick about it. Also I want to add that I see racism and xenophobia in our culture but it still has a different background. To be honest I don’t know if Gypsies, Poles or Ukrainians are even treated any different than a dark skinned people in here. Shit, I heard many times about us being a “nig**rs of the Europe”. Okay, that’s just my thoughts after a nice chat with a Polish doctor in history (she said that Polish leftists taking a part in guilt-tripping about colonization and considering us priviledged are just importing foreign history and culture meanwhile we still have our shit to process).  PLEASE don’t consider it in any means undermining privileges or racism- I just really would love to have conversation about it. I would love to hear from some other Slavic people, but also from US and other western countries (especially from people of color). Also it would be very nice to hear from other feminists, especially radfems to know your thoughts and stands on it. If you aren’t familiar with middle and eastern Europe history let me be your guest, I can talk more about our country’s occupations, our deaths in death camps and other stuff that you’re not familiar to. My family were killed in Nazi death camps also.  Also I am open to hear about other history facts or stands. Greetings from 2st world’s country.

[ray-moo]

As good of a step as getting into important positions is, do you really think that any position is important enough that men wouldn't drag women out of it if women choose to separate themselves from society? Didn't you say men need women? Or is the goal more to achieve enough leverage within the patriarchial system that women can at least dictate the terms of how they must interact with men? Regardless, women should still be trying especially hard to gain influence over the means of violence within the system such as the police force and military, or creating their own armed institutions to suit their interests.

A lot of the protests in places like Poland and Iran are basic bitch women's rights that, while the men in those countries might be reluctant to give up, it's still acceptable because they're not losing access to women altogether. It's a bargaining process where men have to balance the pressure such protests place on them with the perceived impact to their needs if they acquiece. If the discomfort the pressure of the protests is greater than the discomfort the protestors demands would cause, then the protest wins. As well as if it's worth it to crush those protests by force or not. But there is no pressure exertable where men would be willing to live in a world where women refuse to interact with them as radfems would want, to prevent such a world no price is too much to pay and no force is too extreme. Also these protests are still conducted with the assumption that men can be bargained with in the first place, that men are rational beings that can be communicated to and with which a consensus or agreement can be reached. These protests are conducted with the assumption that women and men can coexist and that the ultimate interests of women and men aren't diametrically opposed. You don't protest to something inherently hostile to your freedom, or at the very least it's a bad idea. You only protest when there is the possibility that the other side will willingly acquiece to your demands. In which case the other side isn't inherently your enemy. An enemy, something whose goals are diametrically opposed to yours, you can ultimately only subjugate or kill. The least you are able to do and stay safe is to reach a balance of power where you both concede smaller goals. But that's a moot point because wouldn't the fact that Iranian men are joining in with those protests contradict your points about how men are inherently selfish and can't be allies to feminists? There isn't necessarily hypocrisy in your beliefs, it's just that if your beliefs are true, then it's a monumentally dumb move to be a radfem now and be openly hostile to men. You shouldn't declare war until it's clear you can win and right now men still hold the majority of power, coercive means, and means to violence in society. It's not even a question of submission, rather instead of being honest about your ultimate objective, portray smaller, more acceptable concessions that men may be able to accept as your ultimate objective. That way, the rate you grab bargaining power in society won't outpace the growth of men's hostility towards your movement as they won't realize that your interests are diametrically and fundamentally opposed to interests they can't give up. You're the one infantilizing men, treating the patriarchy as something stupid enough to see a group of women hostile to it's very existence waving signs and then shrug and say 'well their sign waving and chanting is annoying, let's give them what they want so they'll stop'. Right now, the only thing saving you from annihiliation is the fact that no one takes radfems seriously, even mainstream feminists. This is especially true if your plan for victory is to openly occupy more influential and indispensible positions in society in which case overt hostility is the worst thing to express possible. If you're right about the nature of men, then for women to be safe you have to domesticate them one way or another, there's the easy way and there's the hard way and both are available for the patriarchy to use as well. It is hilarious that you think that s*icide where you're sure to die is an acceptable way to deny the patriarchy it's goals when armed revolution where you only might die is too much to ask. One denies the patriarchy but leaves all women either enslaved or dead while the other also denies the patriarchy but creates a future for women.

"Victory in our war against men is too hard sisters, we should take our own lives instead."

The average woman isn't going to to want to choose between life and freedom, the average woman would probably choose life in fact. Better a constrained life as a housewife rather than the women concentration camps men could set up if feminism threatened the patriarchy enough before feminism could win. And better that than dead. While some women, you included, might make the hard choice, men aren't interested in you specifically, they just need a woman.

If you really believe what you believe about men, then you're not taking them as an enemy seriously enough.

I think porn is driving rapes and assault. I read a stat about sexual assault prevelance amount different generations of women, and older women had a lower instance of sexual violence. And maybe they’re less likely to report it, but I think it’s accurate. Every woman I know my age has dealt with sexual violence to some extent but I remember my boomer mother thinking it was rare and that she never experienced it. And as time went on and I experienced more male violence, I became more confused how she was able to dodge violence for years. But now, I think the proportion of sexual violence has simply risen. I think men/boys having porn in their pockets 24/7 has made their aggression and violence worse. The boys I knew in school would share such graphic images with each other in class that would’ve been unattainable before. But now with just a working cell phone, they can access a library of gore and violence in an instant.
