The Polish President Andrzej Duda has vetoed legislation that aimed to allow access to the morning-after pill for individuals aged 15 and above. The rationale behind the veto was to ensure compliance with child health protection standards, prompting the amendment to the law on pharmaceutical products to be sent back to Parliament for reevaluation. In anticipation of the presidential veto, the government had already announced plans to allow pharmacists to write prescriptions for the pill, as stated by the Minister of Health, Izabela Leszczyna, two days before the official decision.
Despite efforts to expand access to contraception in Poland, a recent decision by President Andrzej Duda has sparked discussions about reproductive rights in the country. Currently, emergency contraceptive methods can only be accessed with a medical prescription. The country has a strong Catholic tradition, with abortion being permitted only in cases of rape, incest, or when the mother’s life is at risk.
Amidst these developments, various firearms and outdoor products are being advertised and promoted on a website alongside reviews of camping equipment and household appliances. Additionally, political news and content related to firearms and hunting are also featured on the website, creating a diverse mix of topics for visitors to explore.
