Novidades do Conselho da Europa

O Conselho Europeu adoptou na semana passada um novo texto em que recomenda aos Estados-membro da UE a aplicação de medidas para combater o aborto clandestino. Transcrevemos aqui um pequeno excerto:

The Parliamentary Assembly should therefore invite the member states of the Council of Europe to:
– decriminalise abortion, if they have not already done so;
– guarantee women’s effective exercise of their right to abortion and lift restrictions which hinder, de
jure or de facto, access to safe abortion;
– adopt appropriate sexual and reproductive health strategies, including access of women and men to
contraception at a reasonable cost and of a suitable nature for them as well as compulsory
relationships and sex education for young people.
