This article is a commentary on the decision of the Constitutional Tribunal of the Republic of Poland dated October 22, 2020, in which paragraph 2 of part 1 of article 4a of the Act of January 7, 1993 about family planning, protection of the human fetus and conditions for the acceptability of abortion was found to be contrary to the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. By this decision, which caused a colossal public outcry, the Republic of Poland established a ban on abortion if medical circumstances indicate a high likelihood of severe and irreversible fetal impairment. The author pays special attention to the factual recognition by the Constitutional Tribunal of the Republic of Poland of the subjectivity of persons who physically do not possess either consciousness or their own will, and also assesses the change in the category of legal personality in the Polish constitutional concept, formed by the practice of the Constitutional Tribunal of the Republic of Poland.
