Being a mother, holding a baby in your arms, caring for that little person who came to this world thanks to you. Feeding them with your milk, making sure that they are happy and healthy. Protecting them and creating opportunities for them to become whoever they want to become. Supporting them at 5 when they tell you that they are going to be an actor, then at 7 when they tell you they are going to become someone who creates things from loombands. Taking them to gymnastics, choir practise, football, street dance, swimming, piano lessons, violin lessons, judo…  teaching them all you know, hoping that one day they are going to spread their wings and fly higher than you ever could.

Ever since I was a little girl I knew that I was going to have a family. I was lucky to find someone I love and have children with him. We were lucky that there were no complications and both our children came healthy to this world and I hadn’t suffered from any serious conditions during the two pregnancies. But what if I had? What if we had to choose between my life and the life of our unborn child? OR What if we DIDN’T have ANY CHOICE?

Right now Polish government is ‘plotting’ against Polish women. They are planning to violate their human rights, together with the catholic church, trying to change the law which says that abortion can be performed when the woman’s life is in danger or if the pregnancy is the effect of a rape. The self-righteous politicians from the ruling party called Law and Justice together with the sanctimonious clergy officials are yet again trying to inslave Polish women by denying them the right to DECIDE for THEMSELVES. If the new bill is approved Polish women won’t have any right to DECIDE.

WE WOMEN are the people who bring other people into this world! We are the people who are judged by the society if we get pregnant too early or are left by the father of the baby if he doesn’t feel like being a father yet or ever! We are the ones who have to deal with the problems of being a sigle parent most of the time and therefore we are the ones who should be given the choice whether or not we want to go through all this, after all, we are the ones who after making such difficult decisions will have to deal with our emotions, heartache, guilt and doubt whether that was the right choice.

In my opinion women all around the world should fight for the right to decide for themselves and not only about abortion but about every aspect of their life.

Despite having another female Prime Minister, Polish women cannot count on her to support them. She is just ‘a strategy’ to gain the trust of the female electorate but she has no individual voice or opinion. We need more women politicians who are empowered and ready to represent other women and not only their own interests.

A destitute woman is still a ubiquitous image in our world. Let’s change the laws and pass new bills to give them equal opportunities and abortion will not be a problem.

Let me know what you think.
