ADF: Czech Republic not required to offer inexpensive abortions to foreigners
ADF corrects falsehood that EU member states must provide abortions to citizens of other member states
PRAGUE — The Alliance Defense Fund submitted a legal opinion to the Czech Republic Ministry of Health Friday dispelling misconceptions that European law requires the country to offer abortions to citizens from other European countries. The Czech Parliament is considering whether to adopt legislation that would offer such abortions at inexpensive prices under the mistaken belief that binding interstate service provisions between European countries apply to abortion. ADF explains that the European Parliament and Council of Europe have made clear that abortion is outside of their jurisdiction and is therefore not subject to the interstate service directives.
