Inspiring to see what Women are doing in Poland right now. Ever since a court ruling there effectively banning abortion Women have been protesting through acts of public disobedience and disruption. The demographic seems to be younger people, perhaps people that are less encumbered with dogma from the highly influential Catholic church, as the Polish Government seems to be. For many years now there has been a kind of informal cultural consensus in Poland that the Government works within the framework of Catholic doctrine, much like Ireland a few decades ago, enforced indoctrination from a very early age has lead to a system that is almost theocratic in character. Ireland has (more or less) managed to shake off these religious manacles and is fast embracing a properly secular system, let's hope that Poland follows suite! The signs are certainly good (so far) that this current wave of protests is having the desired effect, the Government seems to be looking for a way out. On a side note, I wouldn't want to be in any Government that incurred the fury and wrath of the entire female population of a country, a most inhospitable place to be.
