My Voice, My Choice’s Post

WE FUCKED UP. The biggest vote on women’s rights in the EU is happening in just 6 days and no one knows about it. On November 5th, European politicians in the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality will vote on My Voice, My Choice — a proposal that aims to reduce unsafe abortions and make abortion safe and accessible for everyone. They have the power to make reproductive rights history. But we are being silenced. We are shadowbanned on social media. Politicians are doing everything in their power to stop us. We cannot let them win. But nothing we are trying is working. There are only two possible outcomes: If the vote fails, 20 million women will be left without access to safe abortion — left to die in hospital beds instead of receiving life-saving care. Every politician who votes against it will bear responsibility for those deaths. If the vote passes, Then, our proposal to reduce unsafe abortions will move forward to the full European Parliament. There, every Member of the European Parliament will have the chance to vote for or against it. If it succeeds, the European Commission could make safe abortion a reality across Europe in less than six months. We need your help to be seen. Repost this. Comment. Spread the word. Without your help, 20 million women could be left to die simply because they can’t access life-saving abortions.

thanks for the heads up - it would be handy to make this request more "campaignable" before sharing widely. Comment where? Is there a site where public input is being requested / recorded? And I second the request for template language for emails. thank you!!

who are the politicians we need to influence? "European politicians in the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality will vote on My Voice, My Choice " are they here on linkedin? can we tag them? are there office phone numbers to call like calling a senator in the USA? Per another comment - Is there a site where public input is being requested / recorded?

Do you have an email template we can use to send to our MEPs to tell them to vote in favour? Thank you! 💚

In terms of MEP’s ~ 40% women, 60% men. I’d suggest this is an issue where the women should determine the regulations.
