Polish Parliament Passes Bills Easing Abortion Limits; Presidential Veto Likely

Poland's parliament passed two bills easing abortion restrictions days before 22 October protests. President Karol Nawrocki, a conservative, faces a likely veto, a head of state's formal refusal to sign a bill into law. Abortion is now legal only if a pregnancy results from a crime such as rape or incest, or threatens the mother's life or health.
