Donald Tusk's attempt to legalize abortion in Poland fails and divides his government

The defense of abortion was one of the battlehorses of the opposition to the conservative government in the previous legislature.

Abortion: Poland rejects a bill that called for unprotecting all human life in its beginnings
Shameful pamphlet of the People's Party and the left to impose abortion in Poland

The project was rejected by 218 votes against and 215 in favor.

Now, once in power, the coalition of partners from the European People's Party and left-wing parties has failed in its attempt to legalize the act of killing unborn children up to the first 12 weeks of birth. life. Excellent news that has also fractured the government of Donald Tusk, president of the Citizens' Platform (PO), the main Polish partner of the European People's Party.

The vote took place this Friday. As indicated by Kacper Płażyński, deputy of the conservative Law and Justice party ( PiS), the pro-abortion project was rejected by 218 votes against, 215 in favor and 2 abstentions. In addition, 14 deputies did not go to vote. In the vote, 175 deputies from PiS, 24 from the Polish People's Party (PSL), 17 from Konfederacja, and 2 from Kukiz15 voted against. In Tusk's party, the PO, 154 deputies voted in favor and 3 did not vote.

“A nation that kills its own people liquidates itself”

It so happens that the PSL is a partner in Tusk's government, and like the Citizen Platform, it is part of the European People's Party. However, the majority of PSL deputies voted against: only 4 voted in favor and one abstained. Jarosław Rzepa, PSL deputy, explained his vote against to the PAP agency: "a nation that kills its own people liquidates itself."

Three ministers of the Tusk government voted against the pro-abortion project

The Polish daily wPolityce.pl has pointed out the extent to which this vote has fractured the Tusk government:

"218 deputies opposed the adoption of the law, among them 24 deputies from the PSL-TD, among them the deputy prime minister, the head of the Ministry of National Defense, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, Deputy Chairman of the Sejm Piotr Zgorzelski, Deputy Head of the Minister of Foreign Affairs Władysław Teofil Bartoszewski, Deputy Jarosław Rzepa, Minister of Development and Technology Krzysztof Paszyk and Infrastructure Minister Dariusz Klimczak."

Poland resists an attempt to erase one of its most deeply held beliefs

In the news, wPolityce.pl raises a good question: "Why are they still in Tusk's coalition?" It is something unprecedented that three ministers voted against one of Donald's main projects Tusk, which he himself championed from the opposition, fueling a pro-abortion riot in the streets of Poland that became a campaign of harassment by the left and centrists against the Catholic Church.

Finally, the homeland of Saint John Paul II, Saint Maximilian Kolbe and Saint Faustina Kowalska, a deeply Catholic country that has clung to its religion in especially difficult times (such as the partition, the occupation Nazi and the communist dictatorship), has managed to overthrow an infamous and inhuman project to subject it to the pro-abortion lobby, a project that sought to erase its most deeply rooted beliefs, starting with respect for human life from its beginnings. It is great news that I am very happy about.

The vast majority of Polish EPP partners supported the pro-abortion project

Aside from that, there is a fact that should serve as a reflection for many: of the 152 deputies that the partners of the European People's Party have in Poland (I am referring to those who belong to the Citizens' Platform and the PSL), only 24 voted against this pro-abortion project. The vast majority of them voted in favor. Let us remember that in 2021, the European People's Party supported a resolution to impose abortion in Poland, calling the Polish Constitutional Court's rejection of eugenic abortion "illegitimate."
