EU parliamentarians and women's health experts are calling to guarantee the right to safe abortions across the EU, stressing that sexual and reproductive health is a fundamental human right.

"Many women do that [the abortion] illegally in a dangerous way,” said Polish MEP Robert Biedroń from S&D, president of the FEMM committee, ahead of the International Safe Abortion Day coming up on 28 September. Within the EU, there is no common legislation on the right to abortion; each country decides its own policy on the subject.
