On March 8, we opened the first abortion clinic in Poland – ABOTAK. Every day, we help women, but from the very beginning, we've been facing aggressive attacks from fanatics.
Shouting, vuvuzelas held up to pedestrians’ ears, wailing sirens exceeding 120 decibels – noise like that of a jackhammer. Elderly people are afraid to leave their homes, parents can’t put their children to sleep, and residents are being denied their right to peace on weekends and holidays.
Now things have escalated even further. A few days ago, someone poured butyric acid at the entrance to our facility – a substance not only foul-smelling but also dangerous to health. Our financial losses amount to several thousand złoty, but Polish taxpayers bore even higher costs for the disposal of the acid and fire department assistance. Meanwhile, the city and police have yet to respond decisively to this vandalism and aggression. Look what they did to us.
And all of this is happening at Wiejska 9 – just 10 steps away from the Parliament and the Presidential Chancellery.
Do we really have to wait until someone gets hurt?
Will the Warsaw authorities and the Polish police finally take action?
Can the Civic Coalition’s presidential candidate, who promises to legalize abortion, ensure safety in his own city?
Let’s not allow this to continue! Help us bring attention to these attacks and pressure the authorities to respond!
