New legislation requiring the European Union (EU) to raise funds to provide greater access to abortion in member states will “bring about more death to the unborn” and “trauma” for affected mothers, according to a Christian Institute source.

The new “My Voice, My Choice” legislation comfortably passed through the European Parliament by 358 votes to 202. While it does not give the EU the ability to interfere with abortion laws relating to its member states, it does provide an option for nations to obtain financial support to provide safe abortions, in line with their own laws, to citizens otherwise without such access, as reported by Evangelical Focus.
