▼ + stars: | 2024-04-11 | by ( Rob Picheta | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +7 min

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.

That effort was blocked by opposition lawmakers, many of whom now find themselves in Tusk’s coalition.
