In 2021, a young woman came to a hospital in eastern Poland to get an abortion: she was suffering from severe mental distress because the fetus she was carrying had the lethal defect anencephaly. The case of Agata, whose surname is not publicly known, exemplifies what Poland's liberal opposition sees as an erosion of women's rights during the eight-year rule of the nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party. Agata later obtained an abortion elsewhere, according to activists who helped her, but her plight resonates with many ahead of Sunday's election in which women's rights have emerged as a key campaign issue.
