Teen's pregnancy fuels Poland's abortion debate

The pregnancy of a 14-year old girl from Lublin has generated a tense public debate about abortion in Poland. It is unclear whether the girl's pregnancy is the result of rape. The girl has been indecisive about whether she wants to give birth to her unborn child or abort him.

The father of the child is a classmate from school. The girl's mother has insisted that her daughter abort the baby and has had her daughter transferred to another school. The mother has also requested the assistance of the Polish branch of Planned Parenthood, the Polish Federation for Women and Family Planning.
