The European Parliament voted 324-155, with 38 abstentions, to condemn the U.S. Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade and demand that abortion rights be enshrined in the EU’s fundamental rights charter.
Why it matters: The Supreme Court's decision last month to end federal protections for abortion was widely denounced by world leaders and human rights organizations.
-In the wake of the ruling, lawmakers in Israel and France have taken steps to shore up their domestic protections for abortion.
The big picture: In the resolution, European MEPs expressed their solidarity with American women and girls and called for the U.S. Congress to pass federal protections for abortion, according to a European Parliament press release.
-The resolution called for EU countries to provide "safe, legal and free abortion services, pre-natal and maternal healthcare services, voluntary family planning, youth-friendly services, and HIV prevention, treatment and support, without discrimination."
What they're saying: "The United States has clearly shown why we must use every tool available to safeguard abortion rights in the European Union,” said Stéphane Séjourné, the president of the liberal Renew Europe group in the EU Parliament, AP reported.
-“It teaches us a lesson: Women’s and girls’ human rights can never be taken for granted, and we must always fight to defend them,” Helene Fritzon, a Swedish politician who is vice president of a parliamentary alliance of Socialists and Democrats, added, per AP.
Scum.
The male leaders want to have unprotected sex without the need for romance, commitment or the threat of long term financial responsibility.
good for them - now they can stop remove all the laws against abortion that they passed which are more restrictive than many of the laws on states books here.
Virtue Signaling leftist Hypocrites (but then that’s all redundant)
They are democracies. We are a Constitutional Republic. They cannot possibly understand that this decision returned the power to the STATES. It had little to do with abortion.
The history of civilization is the search for survival. The whole world is realizing that the best solutions forward have to be found outside the US and EU. That’s what I’ve learned in 2022.
EUroNazis have always loved murdering people. Nothing has changed.
That's a funny way of spelling "communist death cult organizations".
Most of Europe had more restrictive abortion laws than America.
Didn’t they just classify CH4 as a “green” fuel?
Euro trash being themselves. Who really cares what they think.
Millions of third-worlders streaming across our undefended southern border refute your assertion.
Is that supposed to be funny?
Who?
What the F**k!
What business do they have sticking their dirty fingers into US abortion laws?
How many millions of gallons of blood have we shed to straighten out that God forsaken continent? And *this* is what they’ve become!
And we care what the EU has to say about it because…?
Not really.
No vote from us needed. We don’t give a shi..er...Dorkbama about the E.U’s silly little opinions. They’re gonna starve to death in the dark this winter anyway.
