Top court rejects claim on vote-value disparity in 2007 election

TOKYO, Japan - Photo shows a session of the Supreme Court on Sept. 30, 2009. The top court ruled in the session that the 2007 upper house election was valid, rejecting a claim by lawyers that a disparity in the relative weight of some votes in the election was large enough to violate the Constitution, which states all votes are equal.

    Abortion Parliament Debate - Warsaw

    Abortion Parliament Debate - Warsaw

    PM Donald Tusk casts his vote during the voting on the abortion bill in the parliament. The Polish Lawmakers in the lower house (Sejm) of parliament have voted in favour of sending all four different proposal of bills on abortion to a special commission. Two of the bills are aimed at legalising abortion up to the 12th week of pregnancy and another focuses on decriminalisation. The fourth, introduced by the conservative Third Way alliance, seeks a return to strict 1993 laws. Marta Lempart, the leader of the Women's Strike organization (Strajk Kobiet), also appeared in the Sejm, along with pro-abortion activists who were present at the session room. The traditionally Catholic nation has one of the most restrictive laws in Europe but the reality is that many women terminate pregnancies at home with pills mailed from abroad.
