Watch: My Voice, My Choice Urges Supporters To Back Petition Ahead Of European Commission Decision

Wait 5 sec.

The My Voice, My Choice campaign has launched a renewed call for public support as it awaits a response from the European Commission regarding its proposal on safe and accessible abortion in the European Union.According to the campaign’s organisers, they have received unofficial indications that the Commission may adopt a negative position in its upcoming response. The final decision is expected on 26th February. In light of this development, the initiative is encouraging supporters to sign and share its petition in the remaining time before the announcement.My Voice, My Choice is structured as a European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI), a participatory tool that enables EU citizens to invite the Commission to consider legislative action in areas within its competence. While the Commission is not required to introduce new legislation following an ECI, it must formally review the proposal and provide a public response.

Supporters see the petition as a way to demonstrate continued public backing ahead of the Commission’s decision.With the 26th February deadline approaching, organisers say they are focused on gathering as many signatures as possible and amplifying awareness of the initiative. The petition is available online, and campaign materials, including a shareable template, are being offered to individuals who wish to spread the word.The outcome of the Commission’s response will determine the next steps for the initiative and shape the broader discussion around reproductive health policy at the EU level.Sign the petition here.Share this with your group chat to help•
