WARSAW (Reuters) - With no time to attend the abortion rights protests sweeping Poland, Asia Olejniczak, a baker in Warsaw, is instead expressing her support by baking bread loaves emblazoned with the protesters' new symbol: a lighting bolt.

Thousands have gathered across Poland daily since the Constitutional Tribunal further limited Poland's already restrictive abortion laws, making terminations due to foetal abnormalities illegal.
