How we count
- Yes, No and Abstention come from the European Parliament's roll-call voting protocol.
- “Did not vote” is derived: MEPs with a mandate on the voting day for whom no vote was recorded. Abstentions do not count towards this.
- Subsequent vote corrections are shown but do not change the official result.
- Each vote (overall vote, amendment, partial vote) counts separately. Therefore totals may differ from pages that count differently.

What is this about?
- The resolution rejects the European Citizens' Initiative „My Voice, My Choice“ calling for EU funding of abortion services.
- It underscores that healthcare policy and medical services, including abortion, remain the exclusive competence of member states under EU treaties.
- Expanding EU authority in this area would conflict with the principle of subsidiarity.
- The existing legal framework allows each country to regulate these matters independently.
- No new EU-level measures or legislative proposals are deemed necessary.
