Poland is introducing a pregnancy register. In conjunction with the abortion ban, people are scared this could be used to intimidate and spy on women, to track and prosecute those who travel abroad for abortion.
This law has to be stopped.

The plan here is probably not even to stop stealth abortions.
But women are freaking out, because the number one thing women fear is men trying to stop their abortions.
They see abortion stoppers around every corner.

The government of Poland, where a near-total abortion ban is in place, faced accusations Monday of creating a “pregnancy register” as the country expands the amount of medical data being digitally saved on patients.
Women’s rights advocates and opposition politicians fear women face unprecedented surveillance given the conservative views of a ruling party that has already tightened what was one of Europe’s most restrictive abortion laws.
They fear the new data could be used by police and prosecutors against women whose pregnancies end, even in cases of miscarriage, or that women could be tracked by the state if they order abortion pills or travel abroad for an abortion.
“A pregnancy registry in a country with an almost complete ban on abortion is terrifying,” said Agnieszka Dziemianowicz-Bąk, a left-wing lawmaker.
The matter gained attention Monday after Health Minister Adam Niedzielski signed an ordinance Friday expanding the amount of information to be saved in a central database on patients, including information on allergies, blood type and pregnancies.
The health ministry spokesman, Wojciech Andrusiewicz, sought to allay concerns, saying only medical professionals will have access to the data, and that the changes are being made at the recommendation of the European Union.
The effort, he said, is meant to improve the medical treatment of patients, including if they seek treatment elsewhere in the 27-member EU. In the case of pregnant women, he said this will help doctors immediately know which women should not get X-rays or certain medicines.
“Nobody is creating a pregnancy register in Poland,” he told the TVN24 all-news station.
But Marta Lempart, the leader of a women’s rights group, Women’s Strike, said she does not trust the government to keep information on women’s pregnancies from the police and prosecutors. She told The Associated Press that police in Poland are already questioning women on how their pregnancies end, tipped off by disgruntled partners.
“Being pregnant means that police can come to you any time and prosecutors can come to you to ask you questions about your pregnancy,” Lempart said.
All of this leftist stuff is now so goofy at this point that none of them can possibly claim that they are actually following any kind of code of ethics.
It is all purely about pushing forward with their selfish, evil agenda, and there are so many overlapping selfish, evil agendas that the whole thing just looks like a mess.
