"We will strive to ensure that even cases of very difficult pregnancies, when the child is certain to die, very deformed, still end up in a birth, so that the child can be baptized, buried, have a name," Law and Justice party Chairman Jaroslaw Kaczynski said in an interview published by the Polish state news agency, PAP.

Kaczynski denied the party's change of heart resulted from the protests, but said Law and Justice is now drafting another anti-abortion bill to curb the termination of pregnancies in cases of fetal illness or genetic defects such as the one that causes Down syndrome. He gave no detail or the timing for the new draft.

Câinele a intrat în spațiul îngust dintre un bloc de apartamente și un magazin când era mic și de atunci n-a mai reușit să iasă. Patrupedul a supraviețuit timp de trei ani mulțumită rezidenților din zonă, care l-au hrănit în fiecare zi.

Localnicii au făcut mai multe solicitări către autorități pentru salvarea câinelui, iar după trei ani acesta a fost salvat.

On Friday, Obama added to the regulatory changes with a presidential policy directive that outlines his Cuba strategy thus far and lays out the future course. It includes a call for Congress to rescind a 50-year-old economic embargo on the island, something lawmakers have been unwilling to do so long as the Castro regime suppresses political and other freedoms.

The goal of the new regulations and policy directive are to make Obama's Cuba policy "irreversible" by establishing so many relationships with Cuba that a future administration wanting to scale back those ties would face widespread opposition from U.S. businesses and citizens.

"Challenges remain — and very real differences between our governments persist on issues of democracy and human rights — but I believe that engagement is the best way to address those differences and make progress on behalf of our interests and values," Obama said. "The progress of the last two years, bolstered by today's action, should remind the world of what's possible when we look to the future together."

Other changes announced Friday:

Cuban pharmaceuticals can receive approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and be marketed, sold and distributed in the U.S. American scientists will be allowed to work on joint medical research with their Cuban counterparts.
Cargo ships can visit U.S. ports immediately after departing Cuba. Vessels previously were barred from loading or unloading freight at a U.S. port for 180 days after docking in Cuba.
Americans can award more grants in larger amounts to Cubans.
U.S. businesses can work in Cuba to develop the country’s civil aviation security system. U.S. airlines recently began regularly-scheduled commercial flights to Cuba, which has raised concerns among some in Congress that Cuba’s airports are not equipped to secure U.S.-bound flights.
Cubans can purchase U.S.-made goods online, although the Cuban government tightly restricts Internet access.

Diferenta e ca China e o forta economica, Cuba nu ofera nimic la schimb.
