The European Commission must respond to a petition demanding safe and legal abortion services for all EU citizens, which has surpassed 1 million signatures. While most EU countries allow abortion on request, Poland and Malta have stricter laws. The petition could lead to a legislative proposal or be acknowledged without further action.
