Protests have erupted in Poland after a 37-year-old woman named Agnieszka T who was pregnant with twins, died this week after being refused an abortion, The Guardian reported on Thursday, 27 January.
One of the foetus' heart stopped beating and the doctors refused to abort the other foetus.
She had been admitted to the Blessed Virgin Mary hospital in December last year, in the city of Częstochowa, where she complained of abdominal pain after which her condition kept worsening.
After her death, Agnieszka's family, in a statement, accused the Polish government of having "blood on its hands".
Poland has one of the most restrictive abortion laws in Europe, which states that an abortion can only be done in cases of rape, incest, or if there is a clear threat to the mother's life or health.
