Several thousand Poles demonstrated in Warsaw on Wednesday to denounce a new death of a pregnant woman, for which they blame the Polish anti-abortion law, among the most restrictive in Europe.
Dorota Lalik, 33, died on May 24 in a hospital in Nowy Targ, southern Poland. She had been admitted there three days before when her waters had just broken. She died of sepsis brought on by the death in her womb of her 20-week-old fetus, according to a statement from her family.
“The nurses told her to lay her legs over her head to collect the waters“, Dorota Lalik’s husband told the daily Gazeta Wyborcza. “No one suggested inducing a miscarriage to save Dorota, since the baby’s chances of survival were slim.“, he added Marcin Lalik.
