The European Parliament voted 358–202 to back the citizens' initiative My Voice, My Choice to create an EU-funded scheme covering travel and abortion procedures for people from member states with restrictive laws, following earlier parliamentary moves this week on migration.The proposal would draw on the EU budget to cover procedures for people from near-total ban countries such as Malta and Poland and for those in states where care is hard to obtain like Italy and Croatia, and the European Commission will decide in March whether to act since the Parliament's decision is advisory under the European Citizens' Initiative.Supporters, including Abir Al-Sahlani and many left-to-center MEPs, say the fund would reduce unsafe abortions and help those who cannot afford travel, while Polish reactions were mixed — Mateusz Bieżuński welcomed the vote and Jerzy Kwasniewski and groups such as Ordo Iuris and the ECLJ opposed it — and the votes come amid a wider tug of war after the LIBE committee approved tougher return rules 384–237.
