Poll: coalition voters say 'yes', the rest of Poland divided

Poland's parliament is likely to resume debate on abortion-related legislation after the summer break, with four draft bills currently under consideration in a special parliamentary committee. A recent survey by IBRiS indicates that Polish voters are nearly evenly split on whether the Sejm should address laws liberalizing abortion this year, with 44.7% supporting it and 44.4% opposing it. The ruling coalition, consisting of KO and Nowa Lewica, appears more supportive of legislative action on abortion than other parts of Poland, though opinions remain divided. Within the coalition, there is discussion over strategy, including potential tax reforms alongside abortion legislation. PSL, the most conservative faction within the coalition, suggests that a bill restoring the legal status prior to the 2020 Constitutional Tribunal ruling—which sparked widespread protests—is likely to reach President Andrzej Duda’s desk. However, the current president has indicated he would veto such legislation, making the situation politically complex.
