Abstract

The judge read the verdict and the sentence: Wydrzy'nska had been found guilty on both charges and sentenced to eight months of community service at 30 hours per week for helping with an abortion. When it was their turn, the defense spoke about Wydrzy'nska's experiences with abortion and domestic violence and how she wanted Ania to have the same opportunity she'd had to assert agency over her life. In Poland, where abortion is illegal with very limited exceptions, aiding an abortion is a crime with a possible prison sentence of up to three years. FEATURES Warsaw ON MARCH 14, JUSTYNA WYDRZY'NSKA ARRIVED FOR HER FINAL DAY OF court dressed in a magenta pantsuit, an orange blouse, and a gold necklace that read "Mife/Miso", a reference to the two drugs used for medication abortion.
