Five EU Premiers Urge Commission to Fund Abortion Access

The prime ministers of five European Union countries have called on the European Commission to act on a citizen-led initiative seeking funding to support access to abortion across the bloc.

“No individual should be forced to carry a pregnancy against their will due to legal, financial, geographical, or broader socio-economic barriers that undermine equal access in practice,” the premiers of Denmark, Estonia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden said in a joint letter.
