WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has acknowledged that he does not have the backing in parliament to change the country’s abortion law, which is among the most restrictive in Europe.

Tusk said his government is working on establishing new procedures in the prosecutor’s office and in Polish hospitals in order to ease some of the restrictions.
