Thousands rally against right-wing government after abortion ruling

The organizers of Poland’s ‘Women’s Strike’ movement called for a surprise protest which was attended by thousands outside of the residence of Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the current leader of the conservative. Protesters were met with a heavy police presence blocking access to Kaczynski’s residence. The ‘Women’s Strike’ protest movement is a pro-choice political response to the Polish government’s legislation which aims to impose a widespread ban on abortions.
