The Polish Sejm (parliament) is about to pass the Unborn Child Protection Bill, banning all abortion unless the mother's life in danger. In the US abortion rights are under legal threat in several states, and anti-abortionists have started using guns in their attacks on abortion clinics. George Bush's main Republican contender, Pat Buchanan, would severely restrict abortion. In Germany the moratorium on changing East Germany's liberal abortion laws will expire within two years. In a period of capitalist crisis attacks on women's rights are multiplying, especially in eastern Europe. The right to abortion is central women's ability to control their lives.
