EU opens up funding to guarantee abortion rights across bloc
AI Summary
The EU is opening access to existing social funds for member states to support citizens accessing safe abortions. This decision follows the "My Voice, My Choice" campaign, which garnered over a million signatures advocating for equal access to safe abortions across the 27 member states, particularly for women in countries with restrictive abortion laws like Malta and Poland. The European Commission stated that countries can use already allocated social service funds to support travel and access to abortion care, aiming to reduce unsafe abortions in Europe. While some anti-abortion groups criticize the move as infringing on national health policies, campaign organizers hail it as a victory for women's rights and a political commitment to ensuring access to safe abortion care. The EU hopes member states will utilize this pathway to guarantee women's rights.
