The paper discusses the judgement of the Constitutional Tribunal of the Republic of Poland, given on 22 October 2020 (K 1/20) concerning eugenic abortion. The Constitutional Tribunal adjudicated that legal provisions permitting termination of pregnancy on the basis of “a high probability of the foetus’s severe and irreversible impairment” or of “the foetus’s lifethreatening incurable illness” are inconsistent with the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. The result of the ruling is a ban on eugenic abortion and, consequently, a wider scope of protection of human life in the prenatal period.
