Description

It's been seven months since Poland introduced a near total ban on abortions, including cases where there are severe foetal defects. The procedure is now only allowed in cases of rape, incest or when the pregnancy threatens the mother's life. Al Jazeera checks in with women whom are struggling with the emotional toll of the ban.
