Poland considers banning abortion...

Poland is considering legislation that would completely ban abortion in the EU member state country.
The proposals – criticised as “medieval”- would mean abortion would be illegal even in cases of rape or if the foetus has a severe health issue.
Poland currently has some of the strictest abortion laws in Europe but allows terminations where rape or incest is involved or if the child would be born severely ill.
The ban has been promoted by bishops of the Catholic Church and politicians at the highest level have voiced their support for the proposals.
The ruling conservative Law and Justice Party, which has only been in power since October, has close links with the Church.
Thoughts?
*Please keep discussion civil. This is a very sensitive issue that both sides are passionate about.*

- If you were to ban abortion, would you ban it to an extent? (Excluding cases of rape, incest and deformity)
- If you're against a full ban, why?

'The ban has been promoted by bishops of the Catholic Church' says it all, doesn't take a genius to work out that the church should be nowhere near government in the 21st century.

Having said that, to ban abortion in this day and age would be stupid. Religion should never be used to make political decisions. It's difficult to understand why, with all the access to history that we have, someone could think that banning abortion would be a good move. No matter what you personally feel about the act of getting an abortion, you have to look at what happens when legal abortion isn't available - death, infection, suicide, and serious injury. The alternative to a society with legal abortion is much less life-preserving.

What about in cases where the pregnancy threatens the mother's life - and obviously the foetus' life too? Surely they must make that exception.

Personally I have no problems with abortion early in a pregnancy, but have serious reservations about abortion late in a pregnancy. Even for the latter, I don't think a complete ban is the way to go.

I disagree with this so much. Women should be able to do whatever they please with their bodies.

I'm not normally for abortion unless the mother's life is at risk or the baby won't have a good quality of life once it's born. Banning abortion is a stupid move though.

What if I told you all that I'm non-religious and want abortions to be banned? Would you still disagree with me then? If so, why?
