Motion for a resolution B10-0563/2025: This resolution responds to the European citizens’ initiative ‘My Voice, My Choice: For Safe and Accessible Abortion’. It notes the initiative seeks EU funding for abortion, which it sees as indirect harmonisation and a breach of subsidiarity.
Motion for a resolution B10-0564/2025: This resolution responds to the European citizens’ initiative ‘My Voice, My Choice: For Safe and Accessible Abortion’. It notes that the initiative calls for an EU funding mechanism for abortion services, which raises subsidiarity concerns.

Motion for a resolution B10-0560/2025: This resolution responds to the European citizens' initiative 'My Voice, My Choice: For Safe and Accessible Abortion'.
