Bozena, Poland
Submitted by: Wanda Nowicka
She got pregnant at the age of 44. Although she wanted to have a baby, due to her age she had prenatal tests. That examination showed that the fotus had Down syndrome. She got a referral to a hospital for legal abortion. Although she fulfilled the necessary conditions, the director of the hospital requested the opinion of other doctors. One of them -- well-known for his anti-abortion position -- disagreed.
Therefore, the director refused to perform the abortion, and she was discharged from the hospital. Her father who wanted to be informed about her health, after being at that hospital and being treated rudely, had a heart attack. Finally, she found help in another hospital.
