EU News: Council of Europe report states that
abortion on demand should be made legal across Europe
17 March
A new CoE report says that abortion on
demand should be made legal across Europe. The Parliamentary Assembly of
the Council of Europe is demanding that countries where abortion is still
either illegal or severely restricted must grant women access to the
procedure. Abortion remains illegal in Ireland in the Republic and in the
North Andorra, Malta and Poland. In its first report on abortion, the
Council of Europe said that terminations must be available on request in
each member state. That demand comes from its Committee on Equal
Opportunities for Women and Men.
