flag EU votes on funding cross-border abortions to ensure access in restrictive countries.

flag On December 17, 2025, the European Parliament will vote on the "My Voice, My Choice" initiative, a citizens’ proposal to fund cross-border abortions for women in EU countries with strict abortion laws, such as Poland and Malta, or limited access like Italy and Croatia. flag The plan, backed by reproductive rights advocates, aims to ensure equitable access to safe, free abortion services across the bloc using EU funds. flag While supporters highlight the need for reproductive solidarity and safer healthcare, critics argue it undermines national sovereignty and traditional values. flag The vote’s outcome will determine whether the European Commission moves forward with the proposal by March 2026, though past similar efforts have not succeeded.
