Send a quick ready to go email to EU Commissioners as they are set to decide on EU-funded abortion travel.
The European Commission is expected to announce its decision on the “My Voice My Choice” proposal towards the end of February. The proposal calls for EU funding to cover cross-border travel for women seeking abortion services in other Member States.
Under such a system, someone seeking an abortion beyond the legal time limit in her home country – for example, between 12 and 22 weeks of pregnancy – could travel to a Member State where the procedure is lawful, such as the Netherlands, with financial support from EU funds. Similarly, a Polish person seeking an abortion due to a diagnosis of Down syndrome – a ground not permitted under Polish law – could travel to France and receive funding through this mechanism.
The predictable consequence would be to hollow out national safeguards. Laws adopted democratically within Member States would be rendered meaningless if they can simply be bypassed with EU financial backing. Far from respecting subsidiarity, this mechanism would place pressure on countries to conform to the most permissive abortion regimes in the Union – which is, in fact, the stated objective of the initiative’s organisers.
Be sure to take a moment today to write a short email to Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission and to Michael McGrath, EU Commissioner for Democracy, Justice, the Rule of Law and Consumer Protection, sharing your thoughts and expressing your strong opposition to any attempt to allocate EU taxpayers’ money to fund abortions.
Please send your short email to these addresses:
ursula.von-der-leyen@ec.europa.eu and cab-mcgrath-contact@ec.europa.eu
Many thanks for making your voice heard!

Dear ,
I respectfully call on you to oppose the proposed “My Voice My Choice” proposal, expected for a decision by the EU Commission in late February. By enabling EU funds to support cross-border travel for abortions, it would in effect circumvent democratically enacted national laws, including gestational limits and legal grounds. Such a mechanism risks undermining subsidiarity, eroding Member State sovereignty, and pressuring countries to align with the most extreme abortion regimes. I ask you to reject EU-wide abortion funding and instead uphold respect for national competence and diversity across the Union.
Yours sincerely,
Europe despsrately needs more children. A scheme which promotes abortion is not in the interests of Europe. It is snuffing out our future and failing to support and help mothers to welcome their own children into the world.
I call on you to oppose the “My Voice My Choice” proposal on the following grounds
1. A man and woman do not have the right to create a human life and then have it murdered.
2. Unborn babies are the future men and women and as such have a right to life.
3. Abortion does not help a woman’s health.
4. Government should not have the right to spend taxpayers money on abortion.
5. The money should be used to provide help to pregnant women.
6. Voting “yes” to such a proposal is a cowardly, immoral act.
Dont support this please
Babies should not be murdered.
Abortion is murder
Thou shalt not kill
ABORTION CAN DESTROY THE MENTAL HEALTH OF MANY WOMEN. I AM ONE OF THEM. EVERY DAY I THINK OF WHAT AGE MY BABY WOULD BE NOW. EVERY UNBORN BABY IS A BABY. NOT JUST A CLUMP OF CELLS. IT SAYS IN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS THOU SHALLT NOT KILL. ABORTION IS MURDER SLIMPLE AS THAT SAVE THE UNBORN EVERY BABY WILL HAVE A CONTRIBUTION TO MAKE NO MATTER HOW DISABLED THEY ARE
I respectfully request that you do not support a decision of the EU to help funding of travel for the purpose of abortion services.. As a European citizen who considers the life of the unborn child to be in need of protection at all stages of life I do not wish to be associated in any way with destructive abortion.
This vote for “My Voice My Choice” is a very serious matter and is very extreme. I beg of you not to support it. The destruction of precious unborn life in the womb should be protected with all our might. Please oppose and show the world that you care
Please do not use our money to pay for abortions.
To Michael McGrath, especially. You were a pro-life believer until you changed under pressure from your party’s leadership. This time, please show courage and uphold the Catholic/ Christian tradition of the real Ireland -the Ireland of the Penal Laws, when our ancestors kept the faith, despite ‘dungeon, fire and sword’. Already, 50 to 60 thousands of unborn babies have been killed by abortion in Ireland (Southern alone) as a result of our political leaders succumbing to the lying propaganda of pro-abortion pressure groups who claimed that the baby in the womb was not a human being as Science attests -just a ‘blob of cells’.
