Poles protest mother's death blamed on abortion law
A 30-year-old woman died of septicaemia in a Polish hospital

(ANSA-AFP) - WARSAW, NOV 6 - Tens of thousands of people
demonstrated Saturday in Warsaw and dozens of other Polish
cities to denounce a nine-month-old abortion law blamed for
claiming the life of a pregnant mother, organisers said. The
30-year-old woman died of septicaemia in a Polish hospital after
her 22-month-old foetus died in her womb, the family's lawyer
Jolanta Budzowska tweeted. She was, she added, the first victim
of the near-total ban on abortion. Izabela, married for 10 years
and a mother of a nine-year-old child, agonisingly described her
worsening condition in text messages made public since her death
in late September. "Not one more," shouted thousands of
demonstrators in the capital Warsaw who protested outside the
Constitutional Court and the health ministry. (ANSA-AFP).
