A Polish court has ruled that provisions of the country's strict abortion law are unconstitutional, marking a significant legal shift in one of the European Union's most restrictive reproductive rights regimes. The decision is expected to ease limits on terminations that have been in place since a 2020 ruling by a previous tribunal effectively imposed a near-total ban. The outcome reflects the broader effort by Poland's current pro-EU government to reverse policies enacted under the previous Law and Justice administration, and is being watched closely by reproductive rights advocates across Europe.
