The right to safe abortion is still not evenly protected across the EU, with some countries restricting or even criminalising access, while others leave women unable to practically exercise this fundamental right. We asked EESC member José Antonio Moreno Díaz about the European citizens’ initiative My Voice, My Choice, which has collected over one million verified signatures and has already been backed by the European Parliament. With its opinion, the EESC gives full support to the initiative and calls on the European Commission to act to make sure that all women in the EU can access abortion safely and without barriers.
