One of the greatest illusions that a segment of Polish public opinion is succumbing to nowadays is the conviction that the adoption by Parliament of any of the ruling coalition's statutory proposals, de facto destroying the legal protection of life in our country, will establish a new, permanent, and compromise foundation regarding this topic in Poland.
This illusion consists not only of a simple mistake, i.e., taking as a compromise the radical proposals for relaxing the law leading to the morally unjustifiable killing of unborn children. If we were to look for any kind of justifiable moral compromise - although the word is not precise - one could consider as a compromise a situation in which we agree to the death of the child for the sake of saving the life of the mother - although only according to the principle of double effect.
