Polish bishops condemn government plan to subsidize in vitro fertilization

October 19, 2010

In vitro fertilization is legal in Poland, but the procedure is expensive and a real option only for families with money. After Prime Minister Donald Tusk took office in 2007 he promised state financing for it but the legislation was bogged down in heated debate and controversy. There are several proposals floating in parliament, including plans put up by conservative opposition lawmakers that would make it illegal. (The Associated Press)
