People take part in the official opening of the first ever abortion clinic in Warsaw, Poland on 08 March, 2025. The Abortion Dream Team activist group has opened a physical place where women that need an abortion can do so and receive help with medical abortions. The clinic has opened across from the Sejm, the Polish parliament in part to confront politicians dragging their feet on a previous election promise to legalize the practice. QUOTES Agata, abortion clinic supporter 1. "Because this is the very first stationary place where women can get access to information and the abortion itself and this is a very historical moment." Kinga Jelinska, co-founder abortion clinic 2. "We are saying to politicians, we are fed up. We are not going to wait anymore. For us, what matters is the health and safety of people. And we have been helping in abortion and will continue to help in abortion as long as it's necessary." 3. "We have provided 47,000 abortions only last year. And we will not wait. We are going to take the matters in our hands. We will save ourselves. And we are opening a physical place in Warsaw, in your face, in front of the parliament, to remind you that abortions are our daily experience." 4. "This is a place that has been almost entirely crowdfunded by people because people want such a place to have in Poland." 5. "Polish society has changed. Politicians still have to catch up. Polish society, as we see in the public polls, is overwhelmingly pro-abortion."
