Recent cases of abortion sparked a lively debate in Poland on the law regulating the subject.

As of 2014, abortion was illegal in Poland, except in cases when pregnancy is considered a health risk, or is a consequence of a confirmed criminal act.

BBC News reported in July 2014 on a Polish doctor who was dismissed because he had refused on faith grounds to perform an abortion on a woman.
