Elke Slagt-Tichelman (born 18 February 1977) is a Dutch politician representing GroenLinks who was elected to the House of Representatives in the 2023 Dutch general election. [1] Her focus is on long-term healthcare, preventive care, and medical ethics. [2]
She wrote a bill that would allow doctors to prescribe medication abortion to women outside of the Netherlands. The bill's intention was to offer the possibility to citizens of the European Union for whom abortion access is restricted. A majority of the House criticized the proposal in a House debate.
