Demonstrators gather in central Warsaw to protest against the Polish parliament's rejection of a bill that would have decriminalised abortion assistance.

"If I wanted to start a family I would have to adopt," says student Aleksandra Socha, "because I'm afraid for my life and safety." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
