Poland’s ruling party leader has urged the Polish people to defend the country’s churches from pro-abortion activists, who have disrupted services and desecrated church buildings in the predominantly Catholic nation.

Jaroslaw Kaczynski, leader of the conservative Law and Justice (PiS) party, who also serves as a deputy prime minister in the government, said on Tuesday evening that the protesters were seeking to destroy Poland and called on his party’s supporters to defend churches “at any cost”.
