In 2020, the Polish Constitutional Court prohibited abortion sought on the grounds of fetal defects. While the ruling was announced, it was not published for three months, creating legal uncertainty which could change at any time. Accordingly, on 13 November 2025, the ECtHR, in A.R. v. Poland, ruled that this instability violates Article 8 of the ECHR. Crucially, the case reveals a deeper dimension of legal uncertainty, as both pro-choice and anti-choice actors were actively involved, seeking to shape the law in opposite directions.
