Today on the anniversary of Repeal the 8th we act to help women all across Europe! Sign and share for safe and accessible abortion in EU!
More than 20 million women across the EU do not have access to safe abortion care. This not only puts women at risk of physical harm but also puts undue economic and mental stress on women and families who are often on the margins of society that can afford it the least.
To change this we have submitted a European Citizens' Initiative demanding that the EU does what is in its power to ensure safe and accessible abortion for all. We are demanding that the EU passes legislation that would create a financial mechanism that helps Member States that voluntarily join this policy to provide safe abortion care for all those who don't have access to it.
My Voice My Choice movement is collecting 1 million signatures to make abortion safe and accessible in EU.
Six years ago over 66% of people voted for and accessible abortion. Now, let's do it in the whole European union!
