Did you hear the one about the Polack who…? Polish people enjoy Polish jokes because they don’t suffer from low self-esteem like so many other over-sensitive groups. My mostly-Polish blood continues to be a source of pride for me because of the role that nation and so many of its people have played in history.
The news this morning only adds to that growing legacy. Did you hear the one about the Polacks who protected the life of the unborn?
WARSAW, Poland, June 28, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) – After months of shielding the initiative from English media, organizers of a massive pro-life grassroots campaign in Poland have now told LifeSiteNews.com that Parliamentarians in the country are preparing to vote this week on an historic bill that would enshrine total protection for children in the womb from the moment of conception.
The organizers told LSN that they were worried that if the news broke in the English-speaking world, pro-abortion foreign powers would have poured money into the country to oppose their popular efforts.
To bring the abortion ban before Parliament under Poland’s political system, the sponsors needed to collect 100,000 signatures within three months. They got 600,000 in two weeks.
