Today we tried to anwser a call for solidarity which came from our sisters in poland, asking for morning after pills for ukranian refugees stuck in the country. Since the start of the war abortion rights organisations in poland get aproximately 10-15 requests for abortion methods per day. Abortion in poland is still highly difficult to obtain and can be done only in proven cases of incest, rape or if the fetus is defective. But even in those cases, some doctors use the excuse of »conscientious refusal to assist with abortion« and turn patients in need of medical assistance down. Due to dangerous abortion methods (non properly supervised) some of those cases end in serious health problems or death.
Many women* fleeing the war in ukraine face unwanted pregnancies. Many of these cases are a result of war rapes, some others are not. In any circumstance women* should have the right over their own bodies -- which extends to the right to terminate an unwanted pregnancy.
We organised a manifestation in the center of ljubljana and managed to collect money for 44 pills.
We're acceppting donations of money and morning after pills until Thursday .
*including non-binary, transsexual and agender
