Though fraught with obstacles, the decision to bring abortion back to the fore was one Tusk had to make. Donald Tusk leads a broad coalition which is divided on how to tackle the issue of abortion. Third Way lawmakers have also supported a referendum on changes to the abortion law, a potentially long-running saga that Tusk is eager to avoid. Poland’s near-total abortion banThe move by PiS to dramatically toughen already restrictive abortion laws in 2020 set off a heated fight in Polish politics whose ruptures are still closely felt. That effort was blocked by opposition lawmakers, many of whom now find themselves in Tusk’s coalition.

While there has been a lack of quality and depth across many of the sports in Santiago, it was never more glaring than at the first day of athletics. The Pan American region has for decades produced some of the world's greatest sprinters, including Usain Bolt. Brazil's Izabela Rodrigues claimed the first gold of the athletics competition winning the women's discus while the women's long jump title went to Colombia's Natalia Linares. Chile's Lucas Nervi delighted a small but supportive opening day home crowd, taking top spot on the podium in the men's discus. "I feel happy, for the medal for my country, which is the most important thing, along with qualification," said Mesinas.

Abortion rights activists have said that there were at least five cases of pregnant women dying whose families came out to the media, blaming the restrictions on abortion for their deaths. Last month, Dorota died of septic shock in a hospital after her water broke in the 20th week of pregnancy. Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party leader said that by law women could have abortions if there was any threat to their life or health. "I hope the law will change and I will not be afraid to get pregnant in Poland," said Joanna Jędrasiak, 36, an economist.

Feb 21 (Reuters) - French payment services company Worldline (WLN.PA) will keep looking for technology acquisition opportunities in Europe, it said on Tuesday after it beat fourth-quarter sales expectations. The group, which processes digital payments for clients from merchants to government agencies, produced organic sales growth of 10.7% in 2022 and forecast 2023 organic sales growth of between 8% and 10% for 2023. JPMorgan analysts said: "Overall we see the results as good, the guidance at best in-line but not better than market expectations." Its fourth-quarter organic sales growth of 8.3% beat an analysts' consensus estimate of 7.7% provided by the company, which was driven by market share gains and volume growth in its Merchant Services business. Worldline reaffirmed its 2024 ambitions, including the goal of becoming leading consolidator of the European payment industry.

Barbara Skrobol at the grave of her sister in law, Izabela Sajbor, in southern Poland last month. Under communism, Poland had been a destination for women seeking abortions from more conservative Western European countries where it had been illegal. The ruling worked: Almost overnight, the number of legal abortions in Poland decreased by 90%, according to abortion rights advocacy groups. Mo Abbas / NBC NewsLike women living in anti-abortion U.S. states, Poles can travel to seek an abortion. Beneath her sister-in-law’s name on her headstone, the family has etched the words “Not One More” — a slogan that’s been widely used by protesters and Poland’s abortion rights movement.
