Huge protests have erupted in Poland as the government attempts to ban nearly all abortions. We spent a night on the streets with the protesters as some were beaten and pepper-sprayed by police.

Shocked by the scale of the protests, the government has delayed the ban, but some hospitals have already started turning women away.
