In summary, Danish MP Mette Abildgaard received backlash for stating that women should not have the right to choose whether or not to have an abortion, as it goes against the basic human right of bodily autonomy and the right for women to make decisions about their own bodies. Her party publicly distanced themselves from her statement and she has a history of making controversial statements. In Denmark, abortion is legal up to 12 weeks of pregnancy and in certain cases, up to 22 weeks, with access to free and safe abortions as part of their universal healthcare system.
