Fact check: Has Nigel Farage ever voted on abortion-related legislation during his time in the European Parliament?

Checked on September 19, 2025

1. Summary of the results

The analyses provided do not offer a direct answer to whether Nigel Farage has voted on abortion-related legislation during his time in the European Parliament [1] [2] [3]. However, they do provide insight into his views on life issues and abortion, as well as the broader context of abortion debates in the European Parliament [4] [5] [6]. Key points from the analyses include Nigel Farage's personal views on abortion, with him expressing that it is 'utterly ludicrous' to allow abortion up to 24 weeks [4], and his connections to anti-abortion groups [6]. The European Parliament has voted to include the right to abortion in the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, but Nigel Farage's voting record on this specific issue is not mentioned in the provided analyses [7] [8] [9].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

  • The analyses lack direct information on Nigel Farage's voting record on abortion-related legislation during his time in the European Parliament [1] [2] [3].
  • Alternative viewpoints on Nigel Farage's stance on abortion are presented, including his connections to anti-abortion groups and his statements on the topic [4] [5] [6].
  • The broader context of the European Parliament's vote to include the right to abortion in the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights is discussed, but Nigel Farage's role in this vote is not specified [7] [8] [9].
  • Additional context that could be relevant includes the specific abortion-related legislation that has been voted on in the European Parliament during Nigel Farage's tenure, and how his party, Reform UK, views abortion [1].

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement may be misleading because it implies that Nigel Farage has voted on abortion-related legislation, when in fact, the analyses provided do not confirm this [1] [2] [3]. Bias may also be present in the way the original statement is framed, as it focuses on Nigel Farage's actions without considering the broader context of the European Parliament's debates on abortion [7] [8] [9]. Beneficiaries of this framing could include those who seek to criticize Nigel Farage's stance on abortion, or those who wish to highlight the European Parliament's role in shaping abortion policies [4] [5] [6].
