Adopted text TA10-0338/2025: Parliament welcomes the European Citizens’ Initiative ‘My Voice, My Choice’ and calls on the Commission to set up an opt-in mechanism with EU financial support for Member States to provide safe abortion care for those lacking access.
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 B10-0558/2025: This resolution responds to the European citizens’ initiative ‘My Voice, My Choice: For Safe and Accessible Abortion’, which gathered 1.2 million signatures. Parliament welcomes the initiative and calls on the Commission to set up a voluntary opt-in mechanism with EU financial support for Member States to provide safe abortion care.
Motion for a resolution B10-0560/2025: This resolution responds to the European citizens' initiative 'My Voice, My Choice: For Safe and Accessible Abortion'. It reaffirms that the EU has no competence to harmonise abortion legislation or fund abortion services, and calls on the Commission to conclude that the initiative's proposals fall outside EU competence.
Motion for a resolution B10-0557/2025: This resolution responds to the European citizens’ initiative ‘My Voice, My Choice: For Safe and Accessible Abortion’. It notes that the initiative calls for EU funding for abortion services, which falls under Member States’ exclusive competence, and therefore raises subsidiarity concerns.
