A network of ultra-Christian, anti-abortion, and far-right organisations is building momentum in its quest to influence abortion policy in Europe as the US supreme court considers  striking down Roe v Wade, the 1973 ruling that legalised the procedure in America.

Elements of the network originally came together under the name Agenda Europe, holding yearly summits across the continent between 2013 until at least 2018, by which time it had grown to comprise 300 participants, including politicians and Vatican diplomats.
