Amnesty International Criticizes Poland over Abortion Access

Amnesty International recently issued its 2009 survey of what it considers to be the state of human rights throughout the world. In its entry on Poland, Amnesty raps the country for its alleged "Denial of access to abortion for eligible women." It further faulted the government for failing to implement a 2007 ruling by the European Court of Human Rights concerning a purported "duty to establish effective mechanisms for ensuring women have access to abortion where it is legal."
