The purpose of this article is to point out not only the essence of the embryopathological premise of abortion – that has been deemed unconstitutional (pursuant to the Polish law) – but also the criminal law consequences of its repeal. The abolition of the abortion compromise, which took place by virtue of the judgement of the Constitutional Tribunal of 22 October 2020, K 1/20, OTK-A 2021, item 4, prompted the presentation of doubts of both constitutional and strictly interpretative nature that have occurred over the years in the interpretation of the said premise. When considering the criminal law consequences of the aforementioned judgement, it was pointed out that the compliance with the nullum crimen sine lege principle does not allow to determine that the said judgement has led to change in the current scope of the criminalisation of abortion. The conviction was also stated de lege ferenda that any attempts at modifying the abortion law require an in-depth discussion and well-thought-out legislative actions.

The article aims not only at presenting the nature and the advantages of the postulate of maximum specificity of the created offence type but also at determining whether the exclusively literal, uncompromising understanding of the specificity principle on the basis of the provisions of the criminal law should be assessed as the foundation rationalising the establishment of the criminal law norms. The discussion on the abovementioned topic refers to the views in terms of theory and judicial decisions (with particular emphasis on the decisions of the Constitutional Tribunal) on the basis of which an attempt is made to determine whether potential exceptions from restrictive understanding of the nullum crimen sine lege certa principle pose a threat to the guarantee nature of this principle.
