Study finds Europe's abortion laws growing more liberal

Original: Europe’s abortion laws are getting more liberal, a study finds. Europe is overwhelmingly expanding legal access to abort

A new study finds that Europe is overwhelmingly expanding legal access to abortion, with the procedure now legal almost everywhere in the EU. However, many countries still retain criminal penalties and practical barriers to care, and some Members of the European Parliament are calling for further EU-level action to guarantee access.

Why now: Abortion rights remain a contested political topic across Europe, and findings that laws are liberalising draw attention from both supporters and opponents.
