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.
Scuse me? Are you american?
whoop tee doo. MYOBEU
Stay in your lane, Euroweenies.
The godless EU. The very same people who are conniving to create a one-world government of the rich elites who own everything and the surfs, who own nothing — and are not happy.
These soulless creatures are just mad that we’re still a sovereign nation and they can’t impose their will upon us — yet.
They need to mind their own business!!!
Lol. All those countries have stricter abortion laws than America.
It’s none of your business
Why would they think Real Americans give a hoot what they think?
Euro-scum
Pat Buchanan makes a very solid argument that we should have stayed the hell OUT of “The Great War”.
Someone please explain to me why we should care about what the EU says or does.
Satanic scum.
Eff these Eurotrash jerks.
How is the Supreme Court ruling any damn business of the Euroweenies?
Besides, from what I’ve seen on European channels, partial birth abortion is not allowed there.

of
your
friggin’
business,
euroweenies.
They.have.NO.say.in.our.laws.🖕
Yes. But maybe we should have joined the Central Powers and taken Bermuda, Canada and the British Caribbean from the UK.
That would make a great “alternative history” (fiction) story.
FU EU!
