Over the past 30 years, numerous public opinion polls have been conducted on the subject.</strong></p> <p class="text-align-justify"><strong>· Their results show that support for eugenic abortion has declined since 1992, with an increase recorded only incidentally.</strong></p> <p class="text-align-justify"><strong>· The majority of Poles also do not support so-called abortion on demand and abortion motivated by the mother's difficult situation.</strong></p> <p class="text-align-justify"><strong>· A momentary increase in support for abortion was recorded after the 2020 Constitutional Court ruling banning eugenic abortion. Later, however, acceptance of abortion began to decline, for some grounds even reaching lower levels than before the ruling.</strong></p> <p class="text-align-justify"><strong>· The results of a survey commissioned by the left-wing OKO.press portal differ significantly from the results of most polls. They show that support for abortion would be significantly higher in Poland.</strong></p> <p class="text-align-justify"><strong>· The Ordo Iuris Institute has prepared a comparative analysis of public opinion polls on the subject.</strong></p> <p class="text-align-justify">Over the past 3 years, several publications have appeared showing Poles' attitudes toward abortion. It is evident that due to the Constitutional Court's verdict of October 22, 2020, declaring the provision allowing the killing of unborn children suspected of being sick or disabled to be unconstitutional, the topic of abortion has become the subject of public debate in a special way. The Ordo Iuris Institute has prepared a comparative analysis of the results of polls on the permissibility of abortion, published by the state-run Public Opinion Research Center (CBOS), as well as the United Surveys center - commissioned by "Dziennik Gazeta Prawna" and the wp.pl portal, and the IPSOS center - for the OKO.press portal. Significantly, only CBOS has been conducting surveys of Polish society's attitude to abortion regularly since 1992. The other centers focused on checking society's attitudes in 2020, 2021 and 2022, that is, in the year of the Court's verdict and over the next two years.     </p> <p class="text-align-justify">An analysis of the polls included in the study shows that the majority of respondents support the possibility of abortion in cases where the life or health of the mother is endangered and when the pregnancy is the result of a criminal act. The situation is different when abortion would be performed for other reasons. According to polls conducted since 1992 by CBOS, support among the adult population has declined for abortion due to the child's handicap (eugenic abortion), abortion motivated by the mother's difficult situation and so-called abortion on demand. In the case of abortion motivated by maternal hardship, there was a decline from nearly 50 percent support to less than 20 percent, while support for abortion "on demand" declined steadily from 1999 until 2020. Then there was some growth, which may have been due to the spread of false information after the CT ruling regarding the actual scope of the ruling.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">In the years following the verdict, the United Surveys center conducted research on the subject for the Dziennik Gazeta Prawna. It shows an increase in support for abortion right after the ruling. However, in the following years, the number of people supporting abortion on various grounds decreased. For example, in the case of the permissibility of abortion for children with certain developmental defects, support even fell below the level before the Court's ruling.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">The results of a survey conducted by IPSOS on behalf of the left-wing OKO.press portal, which often presents pro-abortion views, differ significantly from most other polls. It shows that support for abortion would increase in recent years. In November 2022, abortion on demand was allegedly supported by as many as 70 percent of Poles.   </p> <p class="text-align-justify">"Analyzed results of an opinion poll on abortion show that the majority of Poles generally accept abortion only in exceptional situations, which include, for example, a life-threatening condition of the mother. The survey for the pro-abortion OKO.press, which found record high support for, among other things, abortion on demand - which is not confirmed by any other poll - raises questions about its reliability," commented Katarzyna Gesiak, director of the Ordo Iuris Center for Medical Law and Bioethics.</p> <!-- END OUTPUT from

of the lives of unborn children in Poland was submitted to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. This is related to the judgment of the Polish Constitutional Tribunal of October 22, 2020, K 1/20, which ruled on the unconstitutionality of the so-called eugenic premise that allows an abortion to be performed in the event of a developmental defect in a child. Since then, the Strasbourg Court has received complaints from women who believe that the loss of access to eugenic abortion violates their right to privacy (Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights) and the prohibition of torture (Article 3 ECHR).</p> <p class="text-align-justify">In the last six cases, complaints have been lodged by women who fear that if they become pregnant one day and their child turns out to be disabled, they will not be able to undergo an abortion. Neither of them are pregnant at the time the complaint is made.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">The Ordo Iuris Institute, with the consent of the President of Section I of the ECtHR, submitted an amicus curiae opinion to the Court. The opinion recalled that there is no provision of international law that would mention the right to abortion, while there are many provisions that refer to the right to life, including for unborn children, such as the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, in which the preamble it is stated that "a child, due to its physical and mental immaturity, requires special care and care, including appropriate legal protection, both before and after birth". In addition, the previous jurisprudence of the Strasbourg Court was quoted, which clearly shows that states may limit access to abortion in the name of protecting public morality.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">- Our Center for International Law constantly monitors cases brought to the Tribunal in Strasbourg, intervening to defend fundamental values ​​such as the right of every human being to life. The amicus curia role allows us to do this, in which we can submit legal observations to the Court on a question relating to the essence of each case. The wave of complaints about the ban on eugenic abortion in Poland is largely an artificially created phenomenon, because in the vast majority of cases they come from women who are not even pregnant. Meanwhile, in accordance with the provisions of the proceedings before the ECtHR, a complaint may only be brought by a person who has suffered a specific detriment. Meanwhile, most of the applicants complain about the hypothetical damage that may occur if they become pregnant one day and their child has a developmental defect. Recently, the Court has already started to reject the first complaints without substantive examination, as many applicants have ceased to respond to pleadings, which is the basis for striking a given complaint from the register, said Weronika Przebierała, director of the International Law Center of the Ordo Iuris Institute.</p> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/news_block/field--node--body--aktualnosc.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: x field--node--field-kategoria--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--node--field-kategoria.html.twig * field--node--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--field-kategoria.html.twig * field--entity-reference.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/news_block/field--node--field-kategoria--aktualnosc.html.twig' --> Kategoria } <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/news_block/field--node--field-kategoria--aktualnosc.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: x field--node--field-zdjecie--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--node--field-zdjecie.html.twig * field--node--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--field-zdjecie.html.twig * field--image.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/news_block/field--node--field-zdjecie--aktualnosc.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'image_formatter' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * image-formatter--node--aktualnosc--field-zdjecie.html.twig x image-formatter.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image-formatter.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'image_style' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image-style.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'image' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image.html.twig' --> <img src="/sites/default/files/styles/artykul_full/public/2022-08/AdobeStock_334035791_Editorial_Use_Only.jpeg?itok=nHzKhvzq" width="250" height="125" alt="" typeof="foaf:Image" /> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image.html.twig' --> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image-style.html.twig' --> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image-formatter.html.twig' --> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/news_block/field--node--field-zdjecie--aktualnosc.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-zrodlo-zdjecia--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--node--field-zrodlo-zdjecia.html.twig * field--node--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--field-zrodlo-zdjecia.html.twig * field--string.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> <div>Adobe Stock</div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-tagi--aktualnosc.html.twig x field--node--field-tagi.html.twig * field--node--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--field-tagi.html.twig * field--entity-reference.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/page_node/field--node--field-tagi.html.twig' --> <hr> <ul class="tags_list"> <li class="label label-ordo2"><a href="/european-court-human-rights" hreflang="pl">european court of human rights</a></li> <li class="label label-ordo2"><a href="/abortion" hreflang="pl">abortion</a></li> <li class="label label-ordo2"><a href="/poland" hreflang="pl">Poland</a></li> </ul> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/page_node/field--node--field-tagi.html.twig' --> Thu, 28 Jul 2022 08:17:00 +0000 filip.bator 1328 at https://en.ordoiuris.pl Murders, beatings, destruction -

We can see that the social consent to insulting believers, in particular the indulgent treatment of such behavior on the part of celebrities, combined with the passivity of the justice system, takes an increasingly tragic toll - adds Magdalena Majkowska.</span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify; margin:0cm"> </p> <p style="text-align:justify; margin:0cm"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe has for several years been conducting research and analysis on the scale of the phenomenon of hatred against various social groups. Ordo Iuris lawyers have been involved in this process since 2015 by monitoring violations of religious freedom and acts of religious aggression against Christians in Poland. To this end, the Institute established in 2018 the Ordo Iuris Religious Freedom Center, which deals with the collection of cases of violations of religious freedom, insults, harassment, vandalism or other destruction of places or religious symbols, and taking legal interventions to protect the rights of persons. believers in cases where their freedom to profess their religion and to manifest their religion through prayer, participation in religious rites, practicing or teaching are violated. The Ordo Iuris Institute also provides legal assistance to victims of sectarian hate crimes.</span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify; margin:0cm"> </p> <p style="text-align:justify; margin:0cm"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">The OSCE report is published every year in mid-November.

In 2011, the woman applied to the District Court for permission to issue a new birth certificate identifying her only as a man (and not as a man who "was" a woman before 1992). The court refused, emphasising that, according to the regulations, a new birth certificate may be issued only in the event of the adoption of a child, and the applicant is demanding a new birth certificate for completely different reasons.</span></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-top:0cm; margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:8.0pt; margin-left:0cm; text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif" xml:lang="EN-GB">In 2014, the woman lodged a complaint with the European Court of Human Rights, accusing Polish courts of violating her right to a private life (Article 8 of the Convention). In her application, she argued that the marginal mention of her biological sex on the birth certificate caused her “mental suffering”. </span></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-top:0cm; margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:8.0pt; margin-left:0cm; text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif" xml:lang="EN-GB">In 2022 the Strasbourg Court dismissed the complaint, pointing out that the applicant had not shown that she had experienced any negative consequences or difficulties in connection with the marginal mention of her biological sex on her birth certificate. The ECtHR pointed out that the marginal mention is visible only in the full version of the birth certificate, while the abbreviated excerpt only shows the current, preferred registered gender. The birth certificate is in principle not available to third parties (not counting civil registry office officials), and the submission of its full version in official matters is required only in extremely rare situations (e.g. in the case of adoption or applying for foreign citizenship). Thus, the risk of disclosing embarrassing information is minimal. Therefore, in the opinion of the Court, there are no reasons to question the Polish system of the birth registry, especially as the annotation in question on the birth certificate may be necessary in certain situations to prove the events that took place before the correction of the gender registered at birth. </span></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-top:0cm; margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:8.0pt; margin-left:0cm; text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif" xml:lang="EN-GB">“The ruling of the Court in Strasbourg generally deserves approval because it confirms the foundation of the law of civil status, which is the principle of objective truth. Civil status records are to reflect the actual state of a given person. Therefore, a person who has changed their sex may not demand that the annotation about a real event, which was the correction of the registered sex, be deleted from their birth certificate, referring to unspecified psychological discomfort. The ECtHR presents a similar position in cases concerning children brought up by homosexual couples, where the parent's partner demands that he/she be entered in the birth certificate as the child's father or mother, despite the lack of biological kinship. Also, in this case, “the Court affirms the right of states to keep a birth registry in a manner consistent with the facts, even if it hurts someone's subjective feelings”, noted Weronika Przebierała, director of the International Law Centre of the Ordo Iuris Institute. </span></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-top:0cm; margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:8.0pt; margin-left:0cm; text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif"><i><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif" xml:lang="EN-GB">The case of Y. v.

At the same time, she omitted the fact that people who enter the territory of Poland are provided with adequate humanitarian aid, and appropriate legal procedures are applied in connection with illegal border crossing.

He also pointed out that this is a ‘long shadow of Russia’s imperial policy’ and not a repeat of the 2015 migration crisis. </span></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify; margin:0cm"> </p> <p style="text-align:justify; margin:0cm"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Among the many contributions, the speech of Nicolas Bay (ID) may deserve special attention, who pointed out that the most humane solution to the migration issue has been adopted by Australia, which does not accept any irregular migrants and therefore no one attempts to migrate illegally, which results in no victims of such migration.  </span></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify; margin:0cm"> </p> <p style="text-align:justify; margin:0cm"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">‘Although yesterday’s debate shows that the EP, in the face of a real threat, is able to abandon ideology and political correctness in favour of acting on the basis of the law and properly understood community interest, it is difficult not to agree with Prof. Legutko, who pointed to a number of events – from Russia’s aggression against Georgia, to the occupation of Crimea, to the falsification of elections in Belarus and, finally, to the issue of the NordStream2 gas pipeline – which have reassured Russia and Belarus of the weakness, passivity and lack of solidarity among EU Member States and the EU itself. The lack of equal treatment of individual Member States in the EU is one of the many problems of the Union which Ordo Iuris has drawn attention to many times. The current crisis gives hope that the Union will notice its weaknesses and learn how to act in the future’, adds Anna Kubacka. </span></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify; margin:0cm"> </p> <p

‘for’, with 125 ‘against’ (and 55 abstained).

The EP also called on Poland once again to legalise abortion, which it illegally describes as a ‘human right’, and it considers lack of free access to the possibility to kill children by abortion as a violation of the rule of law. The MEPs also adopted an amendment to the resolution concerning the alleged relationship between the judgement of the Constitutional Tribunal prohibiting the performance of eugenic abortion and the death of a 30-year-old mother and her unborn child, which took place in the hospital in Pszczyna in September.</span></span></span></p> <p style="margin:0cm; text-align:justify; margin-right:0cm; margin-left:0cm"> </p> <p style="margin:0cm; text-align:justify; margin-right:0cm; margin-left:0cm"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">In its resolution, the EP adopted a narrative reproduced by the media and organisations lobbying for access to abortion, despite a clear indication by the representative of the family of the deceased that the Court’s judgement did not affect the situation as well as numerous opinions from the medical and legal environment confirming it. Moreover, there is still a clear premise in Polish law for saving the mother’s life and health, which may result in the death of the conceived child. The pro-abortion environment is trying to use the tragedy of the family from Pszczyna in an instrumental way to replicate the pattern that occurred in Ireland, where a pregnant mother also died as a result of a medical error. However, despite the fact that this error was clearly proven, massive disinformation has led to legal changes significantly limiting the protection of life. In its resolution, the EP stated that ‘doctors did not perform the life-saving abortion because they were waiting for the death of the foetus due to restrictions concerning legal abortion and their deterrent impact on doctors in Poland’ (compare letter J of the resolution). The statement that the Polish law prevents doctors from saving the mother’s life and health when at risk is clearly untrue. Furthermore, by its resolution the EP supports the view that the explanation of the reasons for the tragedy in Pszczyna was unnecessary. The European Parliament arbitrarily excludes by its position any fault on the part of people responsible for decisions concerning the patient and ignores the fact that the investigation in this case is ongoing.</span></span></span></p> <p style="margin:0cm; text-align:justify; margin-right:0cm; margin-left:0cm"> </p> <p style="margin:0cm; text-align:justify; margin-right:0cm; margin-left:0cm"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">‘It is worth noting that although the abortion lobby is exceptionally strongly represented in this term of the European Parliament, further resolutions containing demands for legalisation of abortion on request and violating the exclusive competences of the Member States to determine their health policy are gradually losing support. The extent of the opposition to the increasing ideological commitment of the European Parliament was most visible during the vote on the so-called Matić report in June. In yesterday’s vote, the resolution condemning Poland for fictitious violations of human rights and respect for the provisions of the Polish Constitution gained much fewer votes in favour, i.e. 373, than an almost identical text adopted one year ago, for which as many as 455 representatives of the European Parliament had voted. Taking into account the specificity of the EU, this is a very promising trend,’ said Anna Kubacka from the Ordo Iuris Centre for International Law.</span></span></span></p> <p style="margin:0cm; text-align:justify; margin-right:0cm; margin-left:0cm"> </p> <p style="margin:0cm; text-align:justify; margin-right:0cm; margin-left:0cm"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Before the vote on the resolution on the ‘first anniversary of the actual prohibition of abortion in Poland’, the Ordo Iuris Institute sent a memorandum to the MEPs, which indicates legal grounds obliging states to protect life as well as presents the actual scope of the judgement of the Constitutional Tribunal of 22 October 2020 and its impact on the protection of life and health of both the mother and the child.
