Abortion and child support – does a woman’s decision release a man from responsibility?

In the case of a serious illness of the unborn child, when the law allows for termination of pregnancy but the woman decides to give birth despite the man's objection, should he be obliged to pay child support?

Abortion and child support is a topic that stirs emotions and exposes moral tensions between law and private choices. When a woman decides to give birth to a severely ill child despite the legal possibility of abortion, the question arises: should the man who opposed this decision pay child support? Supporters of the obligation emphasize the father’s biological responsibility, while opponents see it as imposing a role he did not want. Society is therefore faced with a dilemma: is the child’s right to life more important than the right to renounce fatherhood? There are also theories that child support is a tool for depopulating society. And you – do you think that a woman’s choice should bind a man for years?

Ban on phones in schools – protection of students or an exaggeration?

Do you think introducing a ban on the use of mobile phones in schools is a good solution?

The ban on using mobile phones in schools is a topic that divides parents, teachers, and students themselves. Supporters emphasize that smartphones are a source of distraction, cyberbullying, and declining academic results, so the ban would improve concentration and safety. Critics, however, believe that such a solution is an exaggeration and an infringement on young people’s freedom, arguing that schools should teach responsible use of technology rather than eliminate it. There are also theories that the ban is a way to gain full control over young people and restrict independent sources of information. Should schools be smartphone-free zones, or rather places where conscious and responsible use of technology is encouraged?

Forced global warming – is it worth reducing emissions?

Do you think reducing greenhouse gas emissions makes sense, given that even after a complete halt in emissions, Earth’s temperature will remain elevated for hundreds of years (the so-called “forced global warming”)?

Forced global warming is a concept fueling debate about whether fighting greenhouse gas emissions makes sense. Since even a total stop in emissions won’t halt rising temperatures for centuries, many wonder if reductions are meaningful or merely tools for politicians and corporations. Some argue that every cut lowers the risk of irreversible climate disasters and glacier melt, others point to the need for CO₂ removal technologies. Conspiracy theories increasingly claim the emissions narrative is only about imposing new taxes and global control. Are we really fighting for the climate, or for power over people?

Pedophilia – what punishment is just?

In your opinion, what punishment should be imposed for a pedophilic act against a minor?

Pedophilia – for some, the issue is clear: the death penalty is the only just response to such inhuman acts. Others demand life imprisonment, believing the offender should never see freedom again. Support is also growing for imprisonment combined with chemical castration, viewed as a way to eliminate the risk of recidivism. Advocates of a more “systemic” approach point to the need for psychiatric therapy, though this raises controversy – can evil really be cured? The greatest outrage, however, is sparked by those who argue that if a minor was already sexually mature and gave consent, punishment is unnecessary – a stance many see as proof of humanity’s moral collapse. Is society ready to definitively decide what punishment for pedophilia is truly just?

Sick leave as a form of strike – clever method or abuse of law?

Do you think the use of sick leave by healthcare workers and other public sector employees (e.g., police officers) as a form of protest can be considered justified, or rather a violation of the law?

Sick leave as a form of strike is a topic that stirs emotions as much as the legality of road blockades or the occupation of public buildings. When nurses go on mass sick leave and police officers suddenly all “fall ill” at the same time, public opinion splits into two camps. Some see it as a clever and the only effective method of putting pressure on the authorities, since the right to strike in many public professions is limited. Others cry abuse and fraud against the state and citizens who pay taxes, only to be left without care or protection. Adding to the controversy is the fact that the Social Insurance Institution (the equivalent of Social Security) often turns a blind eye to such situations, fueling suspicions of silent approval. Is sick leave then a clever bypass of the system, or an open violation of the law?

Spanking as a method of upbringing?

Do you support the idea that a parent should be allowed to spank a child as a form of discipline?

Spanking as an educational method has sparked debates in Poland and around the world for years. Some argue that a symbolic spanking is an effective, traditional form of discipline, and that banning it is an attack on parental rights and an attempt by the state to take over child-rearing. Others respond that it is nothing more than physical violence against a child, just given a softer name. Supporters of a moderate approach add that spanking can be a last resort when all else fails, but even that provokes opposition from child rights advocates and psychologists. The dispute is fueled by evidence of the long-term effects of violence as well as conspiracy theories suggesting that spanking bans are part of a plan to weaken the family as an institution. And you – do you believe spanking is a normal parenting tool, or rather a hidden form of violence?
