Masked Women Protest in Cars and on Bikes Restrictive Abortion Laws in Poland

Protesters in Poland used their vehicles to defy Poland's lockdown shouting slogans against a citizen's bill to tighten what are already some of the most restrictive abortion laws anywhere in Europe.
Holding black umbrellas - a symbol of Poland's abortion rights movement, wearing black, and face masks, some circled on bicycles.
Polish lawmakers debated draft legislation last week that would ban abortion in the case of fetal abnormalities, one of the few remaining circumstances in which the procedure is still allowed in the majority Catholic country.
Hierarchy keeping women down in the name of religion again.
