(Warsaw, Poland) - Roman Giertych, Poland's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education, Friday in Warsaw upheld his controversial proposal to include a ban on abortion and rights for homosexuals in any possible future European constitution. Giertych stirred controversy in Heidelberg, Germany, on Thursday during a meeting of EU education ministers when he openly criticized what he termed "homosexual propaganda" in a public speech. "The propaganda of homosexuality is reaching ever younger children." Giertych said in the speech released to the Polish media Friday.
