These factors are: ✓ Political: local, regional, national or international factors that may affect the construction industry in the future. ✓ Economic: current or future economic issues that may affect the strategy to be created. ✓ Social: socio-cultural elements that may have an effect in the construction industry. It is recommended to pay attention to current social trends in order to know how they are changing. ✓ Technological: these are essential factors, since technological changes are currently happening very quickly. Whatever technological factor developed today will doubtless affect the future of the construction industry. ✓ Legal: these factors deal with the obligations to comply with the national/European legislation.

    Europejskie Forum Parlamentarne na Rzecz Praw Seksualnych i Reprodukcyjnych (EPF) Rue Montoyer 23 1000 Bruksela, Belgia Pan Mateusz Morawiecki, Premier RP Kancelaria Prezesa Rady Ministrów al. J. Ch. Szucha 14 Warszawa, Polska 19 Października 2020 Szanowny Panie Premierze, jako parlamentarzyści reprezentujący różne partie polityczne pragniemy wyrazić nasze głębokie zaniepokojenie sprawą toczącą się obecnie przed “Trybunałem Konstytucyjnym„ na wniosek posłów partii rządzącej, który wzywa Trybunał do wydania orzeczenia praktycznie zakazującego aborcji, nawet w poważnych przypadkach anomalii płodu. Wydanie orzeczenia spodziewane jest dnia 22 października 2020 r. [1]. Kobiety rozważające aborcję z powodu anomalii ich płodu, już teraz często stają w obliczu bardzo druzgocących decyzji. Jesteśmy przekonani, że każdy przypadek należy rozpatrywać indywidualnie - wiek ciążowy, osobiste uwarunkowania kobiety i jej rodziny, a także odpowiednie zalecenia lekarskie. Zakaz aborcji w przypadkach, gdy płód może nie być zdolny do życia, jest rozwiązaniem okrutnym, który pozbawia kobiety i ich rodziny godności, zmuszając je do stosowania odgórnie określonego, narzuconego, sposobu leczenia - mianowicie przymusowej ciąży i paliatywnego leczenie noworodka. Takie postępowanie może być sprzeczne z głęboko zakorzenionymi przekonaniami moralnymi, filozoficznymi czy religijnymi blisko tysiąca Polek, które każdego roku muszą dokonywać tego ciężkiego wyboru. [2] Ponadto, zakaz ten byłby sprzeczny z prawidłową praktyką medyczną i międzynarodowymi standardami praw
