Abstract
The European Parliament’s 2022 Resolution on Global Threats to Abortion Rightspromotes a wide-ranging and women-focused approach to sexual and repro-ductive health and rights, which continue to be in jeopardy globally, and have wors-ened following the US Supreme Court’s Dobbsruling. The Resolution’s most striking aspect is a call for the right to abortion to be included in the European Union’s Char-ter of Fundamental Rights. The legal effects of such an inclusion would be limited, although potentially improving cross-border access to abortion. Union law remains a legally constrained space for pursuing abortion rights.
