Published by Statista Research Department, Jan 31, 2024
In 2020, more than 80 percent of Poles believed that abortion should be legal in cases of pregnancies threatening the mother's life and those resulting from rape.
In October 2020, the Constitutional Tribunal in Poland announced a verdict in the so-called eugenic abortion, which aroused much controversy and protests.
