[Ticker] Polish government rows back on abortion ruling

Polish president Andrzej Duda said Friday he will table a bill allowing abortions if the child is not expected to live after birth, but not in case of Down's syndrome. The move would soften a court ruling from last week, banning all abortions on grounds of 'foetal defects', which prompted mass protests by women over the past seven days, and a plunge in the ruling party's approval rating.
