State-funded NGOs unite in bid to make abortion easier to access across EU
With over 1 million signatures, the European citizens’ initiative “My Voice, My Choice” submitted its request to the European Commission earlier this week to set up a funding mechanism to make abortion more accessible.
“My Voice, My Choice” consists of mostly State funded NGOs, that include groups like National Women’s Council of Ireland and the Irish Council for Civil Liberties.
The petition calls on the Commission to devise a funding mechanism to underwrite abortion provision across the EU.
The petition is clearly designed to target Poland and Malta in particular - two Member States that continue to have restrictive laws on abortion. The petition also targets freedom of conscience protections for healthcare workers who don’t wish to participate in abortions.
It is ridiculous how these pro-abortion NGOs draw on taxpayers’ money - and not their own money - to push for legal changes and to impose their extreme agenda on the public. We need more politicians with the guts to take them on and not capitulate to their demands. |
