The European Citizens’ Initiative My Voice, My Choice for safe and accessible abortion, signed by over 1.2 million people, has proven remarkably successful. On 26 February 2026, the Commission announced that it will link abortion services to the European Social Fund Plus, thereby effectively enabling Member States to use EU funds to provide these services to women across the Union. While the Commission did not establish a new European right to abortion in a new law, it has effectively provided European budgetary support for abortion services for the first time.
