It is estimated that one in every three women has had an abortion. As of 2023, Abortion Without Borders (Polish: Aborcja bez Granic) assists 130 Polish women daily. Out of these women, 123 take abortion pills in the comfort of their homes, while seven travel outside the country for a medical abortion. From the time of Julia Przyłębska's court ruling until November 2023, approximately 125,000 women have benefited from abortion pills provided by NGOs. Pro-choice organisations have reported that the Polish government owes foundations assisting in abortion almost PLN 50 million.

How can someone safely have an abortion at home? While there are guides available on the internet, searching for terms like "abortion at home" can be risky and lead to potential stigma. What if someone's partner or a household member comes across their search history? In the worst-case scenario, the person searching for information could be accused of assisting in an abortion, similar to Justyna Wydrzynska's case.

Those seeking to terminate a pregnancy might face an overwhelming amount of allegations and questions they would rather not answer. Even though more people are becoming aware of pregnancy termination, the statistic "one in three women have had an abortion" may still seem unrealistic.

Natalia Broniarczyk made a historic move in the fight for legal abortion in Poland. As a pro-choice activist, she took Mifepristone - one of the two drugs used in abortions - on live television. Mifepristone is part of an abortion kit provided by Women Help Women, an organisation that offers abortion pills to women worldwide. The kit also includes Misoprostol, which is inserted between the cheek and gum and swallowed after half an hour of taking Mifepristone.

Natalia's act is significant as it proves that there are no legal repercussions for performing an abortion by oneself. Broniarczyk’s decision challenged the stigma and taboo surrounding abortion. She treated Mifepristone like any other medication and took it when she needed it, without any moral dilemma.

The opinions of influential Polish women who have undergone abortions have also had a positive impact on the conversation surrounding abortion. Women such as MP Katarzyna Ueberhan, writer Maria Czubaszek, singer Natalia Przybysz, actress Krystyna Janda, dancer Krystyna Mazurówna, and actress Nina Andrycz have all had at least one abortion in their lives. However, it is important to question whether they should be expected to remain silent about their experiences due to the taboo surrounding abortion.

The fight for abortion rights is based on the principle of freedom: if an individual chooses not to terminate a pregnancy, they are free to do so, but those who do wish to terminate their pregnancy should have the opportunity to do so safely, whether through medication or medical procedures. No contraceptive method is 100% effective, and accidents can and will happen. Banning legal access to abortion only serves to make the procedure less safe, as people will continue to terminate their pregnancies regardless. In many societies, abortion is viewed as a standard medical procedure, similar to having a tooth removed or receiving stitches for a wound. This approach seems much healthier than perpetuating the taboo surrounding the subject.
