i have a question to you about where you see poland going forward? the long term plan for poland? moscow, massive tensions with minsk as well, and huge tensions with brussels, the european union, of which you are a member state. where does poland feel it belongs? poland's home is as part of the european union, but about the answer to your question, i think that there are those political or geopolitical risks gathering around us. there is china looming on the horizon. this is a huge superpower we have to be aware of there. but also, there are not only good guys around europe, and we have to be vigilant to their scenarios, there are attempts to destabilise europe. and this is where poland is not only a very solid member of the european union, but we have somehow better knowledge about what is going on in belarus, ukraine, russia. and we can be a kind of warning, we can create a better understanding for our friends in western europe, about what is gathering around us. because we mightjust be entering a new era of destabilisation, and it is better to make a where all your friends abou

to the development of poland. that is why the jewish culture is vibrant in poland. we will keep supporting that because that will give us richness and diversity that warsaw was so well known for. we will keep on doing that regardless of whatever happens. >> i had a chance to visit warsaw in 1990. it was one third jewish before world war ii and that is the history of poland. i am grateful for your remarks and i look forward to continuing our conversations and working to make sure we are supporting what you are doing, but also collaborating to do this work around the world together. i yield back. >> i thank all of the committee members who participated with all that is going on around congress right now, we have amazing participation from our members because of the interest from the mayors that were here today. your comments have inspired, informed, and i hope create a continuation of a dialogue we can have on the important issues, the shared values that we have. while we were here, the world goes on and i will inform you that during this time, the u.s. has announced

abortion laws have been tightened in poland. yes, definitely each and every attempt to it's hard to strengthen the already very restrictive abortion and actually translate in a dramatic increase in the number of people seeking abortion. and it's true that many people in poland are indeed afraid to get pregnant at the moment. but we also see a radical increasing the number of those who received the 1st prenatal results and decided not to wait for her their results and simply go for an abortion and travel to have an abortion abroad. and we've heard that the government wants to create a legal register of all pregnancies. how would that affect your work? well, we'll definitely affect the life of people in poland because this will mean that they will be simply afraid to not only good at the moment, but also to contact doctors in those situations. and as every a change in the abortion law, we will expect that this will translate into more people having abortion. we are prepared for this situation. now in november, a 30 year old woman

those washing despite poland sneered. total ban on abortion. women who terminate pregnancies cannot be prosecuted under polish law. that however, didn't prevent the police from interrogating her. a claudia coast oak tells me, oh sam, up. he says look what we asked and they wanted to know how the pills were delivered out what the package looked like. so i'm open, i had to give them the names of all my friends who knew i had an abortion. not no idea what that was for help. also. last year, a court ruled that abortion in poland is only permitted in cases of rape or incest, or when the mother's life is threatened, thousands took to the streets in protest with the intact until $911.00 dos come with. one of them is the reproductive rights activists says that the results of the new law amounts to torture is found on the horse. it means that polish women are forced to carry pregnancy with fetuses that have no rain that have no call if they are in distance outside of their body. we have lethal har hart failures. it's just impossib
