Subtitle: Inspiring a nuanced debate with human dignity as common ground. By Jan Schippers MSc & Jacoline Waaijenberg BA
Sallux believes that legislation on abortion is primarily a competence of national member states. At the same time, debates on abortion are a reality that our politicians can hardly ignore. The debate on abortion in the European Parliament is a reflection of the broader European debate on abortion. That is why this brochure is also meant to be an inspiring trigger for the broader European conversation on this issue. In this publication three European Parliament debates are analysed in order to get a clear picture of the current situation. This clarification is followed by an exploration of the concept of ‘human dignity’, which the authors believe can play a central role for a more substantive debate on abortion.
