The first high-profile initiative of Ordo Iuris was an attempt to draft an anti-abortion bill in 2016, which aimed to its full prohibition and introduce criminal liability for anyone who causes the death of a conceived child, including its mother. However, it caused the Black Protests across the country and was eventually rejected by Sejm voting on 6 October 2016. During the discussion prior to the vote, Joanna Banasiuk of Ordo Iuris presented a "self-amendment" with the aim of removing the so-called criminal record of mothers. [6]
