Safe and legal abortion must be available to all women in Europe. Autonomy over our bodies and lives is a fundamental right.

Samira Rafaela (D66) di 14 mrt 2023, 15:22

Happening in Europe right now! Women receive penalties because they fight for the right to #abortion. Because women want to make their own choices about their bodies! This is a war against women. During the debate tomorrow I will insist that @vonderleyen looks into this matter.

Samira Rafaela (D66) di 14 mrt 2023, 13:05

Today is Justyna Wyndrzynska’s hearing. Her crime? Helping a woman access the #abortion care she needs in #Poland. It’s unbelievably frustrating, incredibly unjust to witness what’s going on. Justyna, we are with you. Jestem z Justyna #IamJustyna @aborcyjnydream #JakJustyna

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) do 2 mrt 2023, 13:00

You thought the Handmaid’s Tale was fiction?

For women in Poland it’s reality.

The womb police took 30 years of medical data of a gynaecologist office.

It’s the scary effect of Poland’s abortion ban, and a breach of EU data protection law.

Will @EU_Commission act?

Samira Rafaela (D66) ma 6 feb 2023, 11:15

Justyna Wydrzyńska, activist and human rights defender, will be in Polish court today again, because she’s helping women in #Poland to get access to a safe #abortion.

Thank you Justyna for everything you’re doing for women in Poland.

We support you! #abortionishealthcare

+3All women across the 🇪🇺 must be safe!

Renew Europe and @PL_2050 visited Dublin to draw lessons on how to improve access to abortion in #Poland and elsewhere in Europe. We had different conversations with great experts. Thank you! #abortionishealthcare #abortionrights

Samira Rafaela (D66) za 4 feb 2023, 10:27

Together with @RenewEurope colleagues visiting Dublin to learn about campaign activities for the right to Abortion. Inspiring conversation with Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly.

+3President Metsola must investigate radical ultraconservative anti-abortion, anti-gender lobbyists with strong transnational links. With such high amounts of foreign funding, is there a case of foreign interference? Women’s rights and LGBTI+ rights are at stake.

Samira Rafaela (D66) di 13 sep 2022, 08:05

Finally - what is a State of the Union without a necessary reflection on our common values? There are still women dying in the EU because they don’t have access to safe and legal #abortion. Our treaties must reflect our values. Time to include #abortionrights in our Charters.

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) wo 10 aug 2022, 15:39

+1American cops are demanding ‘evidence’ from tech companies, when hunting women seeking an abortion.

At the same time, the US is forcing an agreement down Europe’s throat that may give those same police acces to data stored in Europe. Our questions to @EU_Commission need answers!

Samira Rafaela (D66) ma 18 jul 2022, 16:47

More than 100 organisations from more than 30 European countries are supported by their fundamentalist American counterparts. It’s time to expose them. These groups have enjoyed their anonymity for too long.

Incredible! The @Europarl_EN wants to include the right to abortion in the Annex to the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU. We just adopted this provision and the resolution to safeguard abortion rights and Women’s health in the EU in plenary. #RoeVWade #abortionrights

Agnes Jongerius (PvdA) do 7 jul 2022, 11:53

Let's make #abortion legal, safe and accessible!

Straks stemmen we over een belangrijke resolutie:
- Veroordelen #RoeVsWade in de VS.
- Recht op abortus in Europese verdragen
- #EU internationaal voorvechter voor abortus

It's time to take a stand! 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏽‍♂️

Kim van Sparrentak (GroenLinks) di 5 jul 2022, 17:53

Also in Europe abortion rights are under threat. But we will not go back.

I'm standing with activists and will keep fighting for abortion rights in Europe. Because the right to abortion is a fundamental right.

President @EP_President Metsola has by now received our letter that requests to take away the badges of anti-abortion lobbyists. There is no room in the European Parliament for their toxic anti-women agenda. #RoeVsWade #AbortionRightsAreHumanRig­hts­ #AbortionIsHealthcare

Sophie in 't Veld (D66) wo 29 jun 2022, 12:48

Millions of women in the US and persons helping them, face a real risk of persecution for seeking an abortion. The EU should stand with them, and refuse to share personal data with the US for the purpose of enforcing those draconic laws. Questions with @fred_matic 👇🏻

#RoeVsWade

Samira Rafaela (D66) vr 24 jun 2022, 22:10

Following the @Europarl_EN resolution on global threats to #abortion rights the EU needs to give financial support to US-based civil society organisations and protection for medical professionals who are at risk of legal persecution. We need to offer them a safe haven.#RoeVWade

Samira Rafaela (D66) do 9 jun 2022, 13:46

The resolution on the global threats to #abortion rights passed with a clear majority. So did our call to amend the Charter of Fundamental Rights in the EU to include the right to safe and legal abortion. The @Europarl_EN is on board and now it’s time to push through. I’m on it!

Kim van Sparrentak (GroenLinks) wo 8 jun 2022, 19:04

The EU parliament debates the threat to abortion rights in the US tonight.

But this is not an American problem. The right to abortion is under attack everywhere.

But we won't let this happen. The harder they push back, the more united we become.

#MyBodyMyRights

Samira Rafaela (D66) za 4 jun 2022, 13:07

The bottom line: we need to integrate the right to abortion in our treaties. This is a clear signal from the ALDE parties and its members that we are not negotiating with extremists. Women’s rights are human rights, and they must be upheld.

Samira Rafaela (D66) za 4 jun 2022, 13:07

Today at the @ALDEParty Congress, the Congress overwhelmingly voted in favour of my resolution on behalf of @D66 on guaranteeing access to safe and legal #abortion across the whole EU.

Samira Rafaela (D66) di 31 mei 2022, 08:31

Even in the case of rape or incest, victims are often denied abortion care. Imagine the impact of that and victims leaving behind traumatized and damaged. Abortion right is a human right. We need to amend our EU treaties to take care of that. #AbortionIsHealthcare #abortionrights

Samira Rafaela (D66) di 31 mei 2022, 08:31

Unsafe #abortion is a main but preventable cause of maternal deaths. Next week the @Europarl_NL will debate on the global threats to abortion rights. We face serious threats here in Europe. The right to conscientious objection for example is a big problem 👇🏽

Samira Rafaela (D66) di 31 mei 2022, 08:31

In the European Union, 22 out of 28 member states, provide the right to conscientious objection over abortion, according to the WHO’s 2018 Global Abortion Policies Database: edition.cnn.com/interactiv­e/20…­

Dear @KamalaHarris @SpeakerPelosi, as fellow legislators we ask you to protect safe and legal abortion, if Roe v Wade is overturned.

It would have ramifications beyond the US, as the American and European anti-choice movement is on a joint crusade to destroy women’s autonomy

Kim van Sparrentak (GroenLinks) do 7 apr 2022, 14:58

Horrible stories from Poland: women who were raped by Russian soldiers in Ukraine, have fled to Poland and cannot get access to safe abortion because of the Polish abortion ban.

I'm asking the @EU_Commission to take action:

My statement in today’s debate about the pushback on women’s rights with #abortion laws in #Texas and Europe.

The Texas law is unprecedented but many Members of the European Parliament would limit abortion rights tomorrow - if they could.
We must stand in solidarity together.

Samira Rafaela (D66) ma 6 sep 2021, 15:03

The new anti-abortion law of Texas undermines the fundamental rights of women. Therefore, together with 112 MEP’s, I urgently call upon governor @GregAbbott_TX to repeal the law.

Best practice for Poland. You can be a Catholic country and at the same time respect women’s rights! Argentina’s senate to vote on a broad legalization of abortion, which would make the country of 45 million by far the largest in Latin America to do so. wsj.com/articles/abort…
