In a country where the choice is severely restricted, one woman's decision became a catalyst for change. Natalia Bruk, at 28 years old, made a choice that is forbidden in Poland. "From the moment I saw the positive pregnancy test, my body screamed 'no.' Not this moment, not this partner, not in this situation," she recalls. Her decision to terminate her pregnancy led her to a path of activism, becoming one of the founders of Poland's abortion dream team, a group that provides support and access to safe abortion pills.
Eleven years ago, when Natalia made her choice, information on safe abortion was scarce. Yet, once she found the pills and ended her pregnancy, she felt a profound relief and a sense of control over her life. This relief transformed into a mission to empower others, leading her to establish a 24-hour hotline that advises an average of 30 callers daily and supplies abortion pills to those in need.
Their work extends to the Polish Parliament, where they protest a controversial law debate that could potentially liberalize one of Europe's strictest abortion laws. Amidst anti-abortion protesters displaying graphic images, Natalia and her team stand their ground. "The real enemy is here," she asserts, pointing to right-wing politicians who oppose decriminalizing abortion.
Justina Vinsa, a fellow activist, understands the gravity of their mission. She was convicted of criminal offenses for supporting a woman's right to choose and faces an 8-month community service sentence. The lack of discourse on this issue is a significant problem, and the fear of legal repercussions is a constant companion.
Despite the recent vote down of a more liberal abortion bill, the team remains resilient. They load their van and head north, spreading their message along the Baltic coast. In a country where the topic is still taboo, they find support from many, though not without opposition. "It's not just killing a child; it's the killing of reason and logical thinking," one detractor laments.
Natalia and her team are clear about their purpose. They don't aim to convert those against abortion but to support those who might need it. "We respect that someone can have a different opinion, but we know that in an unwanted pregnancy, sometimes you put your opinions aside and still decide to have an abortion. And we are for this kind of people."
This is the message Natalia and her team are determined to spread across Poland, one conversation at a time, one choice at a time, one life at a time.
