Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


In another study also published in Molecules, members from the same team used the technique to analyze two independent samples containing traces of misoprostol, the other drug commonly known to induce pregnancy.

Isolated media reports show that Polish officials have increasingly taken to raiding the homes of women under suspicion of facilitating illegal abortions.

In interviews with Human Rights Watch, doctors, lawyers and a woman who had a legal medication abortion described "sweeping and speculative investigations, and overbroad searches."

Since 2020, at least six women have died in Poland after doctors performed a medically necessary abortion either too late or not at all, citing fear of consequences or reasons of conscience, according to research by the European Parliament.

It is an attack on fundamental and human rights and should be unthinkable in a liberal democracy in 2021," said Evelyn Regner, a Member of the European Parliament from the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats.

The Wroclaw Medical University researchers have cited the above Lancet statement as the reasoning behind their search for traces of abortion pills in women's bodies.


The original article contains 895 words, the summary contains 173 words. Saved 81%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
