On Wesoła Street, near the headquarters of the State Fire Service, a billboard displaying photos of bloody fetuses was put up. Next to them are captions suggesting that these are post-abortion fetuses. Additionally, there is a slogan saying that “abortion kills 1,000 times more people than the coronavirus.”

The poster is graphic. Displaying such images in a public space is an offense that can be reported to the police. This is provided for in Articles 51 § 1 and 141 of the Code of Petty Offenses.

Anyone who, by shouting, noise, an alarm or another disturbance, disrupts the peace, public order or nighttime rest, or causes public outrage in a public place, is subject to arrest, restriction of liberty or a fine.

Article 51 § 1 of the Code of Petty Offenses

Anyone who places an indecent announcement, inscription or drawing in a public place, or uses indecent words, is subject to restriction of liberty, a fine of up to PLN 1,500 or a reprimand.
