News Europe votes to expand abortion access in historic ballot

Quote:The European Parliament voted today in support of an EU fund to expand access to abortion for women across the bloc, in a historic ballot that divided lawmakers.
The plan would establish a voluntary, opt-in financial mechanism to help countries provide abortion care to women who can’t access it in their own country and who choose to travel to one with more liberal laws. European citizens presented the plan in an EU petition — through the campaign group “My Voice, My Choice.”
Lawmakers in Strasbourg voted 358 in favor and 202 against the proposal, and 79 MEPs abstained.
This is a result of the campaign that Clover posted about earlier this year: https://clovenhooves.org/showthread.php?tid=603
