Polish election: Tusk party urged to show it is not deceiving women' on abortion
Briefly

The upcoming presidential elections in Poland signify a crucial opportunity for Donald Tusk's centrist Civic Coalition to address the country's stringent abortion laws. As voters prepare to elect a successor to President Andrzej Duda, the elections are indicative of voter sentiment on social issues. With polls suggesting a tight race between the centrist Rafa Trzaskowski and anti-abortion Karol Nawrocki from the Law and Justice party, the outcome could shape future legislation on abortion. Tusk's campaign promises to liberalize the laws, which remain heavily restricted since a near-total ban five years ago, emphasize the elections' importance in advancing women's rights.
This is the election that will let us know how much of a chance we have to push through with an actual legislative change.
The elections will be critical in determining whether there will finally be change in Poland regarding its restrictive abortion laws.
