The initiative's success highlights a shared European value for the right to decide about childbirth. The European Parliament's symbolic vote in April to include abortion access in the EU's Charter of Fundamental Rights underscores this sentiment, although unanimous member state support remains necessary for formal inclusion.

What are the underlying causes of the high rate of unsafe abortions and teenage pregnancies in Zimbabwe?

The ruling connects to broader patterns of unsafe abortions in Zimbabwe, where approximately 77,000 unsafe abortions occur annually, leading to many deaths. The high rate of teenage pregnancies (nearly 25% of girls aged 10-19) due to weak law enforcement, cultural practices, and poverty, necessitates safe abortion access to reduce maternal mortality. This ruling directly addresses the violation of rights and the high mortality rate caused by unsafe abortions.
