During a recent press conference in Płock, Rafał Trzaskowski, Vice Chairman of the Civic Coalition and potential presidential candidate, reaffirmed his strong stance on abortion rights. He declared, “If I become president, I will sign a bill liberalizing abortion laws. If necessary, I will introduce such an initiative myself.”
This statement aligns with the broader Civic Coalition agenda advocating for women’s right to choose. Trzaskowski emphasized that decisions about a woman’s body should be made by women themselves. His position contrasts sharply with that of his political rival, Karol Nawrocki, who supports maintaining Poland’s restrictive abortion laws.
As the presidential campaign approaches, Trzaskowski’s focus on abortion rights signals a strategic appeal to progressive voters. His vocal support for women’s reproductive rights may become a central theme in his platform.
The discussion surrounding abortion laws remains a contentious issue in Polish politics, with efforts to liberalize the laws facing strong opposition.
