Hopefully, this is true, but of course there is no guarantee. A media outlet close to the abortion-tourism initiative “My Voice, My Choice” reports having heard from sources within the Commission that the Commission’s response to the (not particularly successful) initiative will not be what the organizers and their financial backers had hoped for.

A visibly distressed Nika Kovač has published a message on Instagram, calling on her followers to undertake a last-ditch effort and write e-mails to Commissioners, urging them to support abortion tourism (much like our own campaign that asks them to not support it), warning with a tear-choked voice and dramatic tone that “women will die” if her initiative is not implemented. This is, of course, nonsense. Women die from abortions, not from having children. And: a disproportional part of children aborted are female. Has Ms. Kovač never heard of “gendercide”?

But even stranger than these dramatic claims are the reports that reach us from Slovenia with regard to the pro-abortion initiative’s latest action.

The US-based Centre for Reproductive Rights (CRR), well known for its strategy of fabricating ‘rights by stealth’ in the US and world-wide, is once again making an appearance in Europe to speak on behalf of ‘civil society’. It seems that the international abortion lobby is better able to mobilise so-called ‘non-governmental organisations’ for its cause than real citizens with real lives.

The letter launched by CRR from ‘170 civil society organisations’ in support of the illegal abortion tourism initiative ‘My Voice, My Choice’ may seem impressive at first glance due to the large number of supporting organisations, but on closer inspection it turns out to be much less so.

The European Commission registered the controversial pro abortion ECI “My Voice, My Choice” on the grounds that what it is petitioning for does not lie manifestly outside the Commission’s powers to propose a legal act of the Union for the purpose of implementing the Treaties. In particular, the Commission claims that financial support for the facilitation of abortion tourism between Member States “could fall within the Union’s supporting competence (Article 168(5) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, TFEU)”.

Is this really true? A reality check.

On 25 February, when the European Commission announces its opinion on the abortion initiative ‘My Voice, My Choice’ to the public, it will become clear what moral principles the members of the college have brought to their office. Rarely is a political decision so clearly a choice between good and evil, solidarity and raw egoism, genuine values and cynical ‘freedom of choice’.

The European Commission prepares to respond on the 25th of February 2026 to the “My Voice, My Choice” (MVMC) European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI), which is calling for the Commission to fund abortion tourism within the EU.

To mobilize against it, the European Federation ONE OF US launches www.NoAbortionTourism.eu, a pan-European campaign available in all the EU languages.

Today, Grégor Puppinck, Director of the European Centre for Law and Justice (ECLJ) and in 2014 president of the citizens’ comittee that organized the ECI “ONE OF US”, sent a letter to Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, Stéphane Séjourné, former French minister and Vice-President of the Commission; and the twenty-five other European Commissioners, in view of the fact that the European Commission is poised to publish its response to the “My Voice My Choice” initiative on 25 February.

Some questions contain their own answers. It is well known that the European Commission is not exactly in the habit of providing meaningful answers to critical questions from Parliament. In this respect, the question posed by some MEPs regarding the financing of ‘My Voice, My Choice’ is probably less aimed at obtaining information and more at letting the Commission know that they have seen through the game being played here.

The Holy Father’s annual address at the New Year’s reception for representatives of the diplomatic corps is an important opportunity each year to communicate to the world how the Catholic Church views the political situation.

This year’s address, the first by the new Pope in a pontificate that could last for many years, is particularly significant. Among other things, the pontiff expresses deep concern over the European pro-abortion citizens’ initiative “My Voice, My Choice”, which, despite having received far less support from “ordinary” citizens than we did with our pro-life initiative in 2014, is being energetically promoted by the left to extreme-left political spectrum in the EP and within the European Commission, while meeting only half-hearted (if any) resistance from centrist or allegedly “Christian Democrat” politicians.
