lpv:spoken text	"I believe that this is a good report and deserves support. However, problems arise in the detail of paragraphs 52, 53, 54 and 56. I voted for these paragraphs because I agree with the objectives of the rapporteur. I would, however, like to ensure that my voting intentions are not misinterpreted. In relation to paragraph 52 I support the right of individual conscience. In stating this principle I would also like to make it absolutely clear that this in no way implies that I personally support abortion. With regard to paragraphs 53, 54 and 56 I oppose discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation. I would, however, add a few caveats. Firstly, I do not support the right of gay couples to adopt. Secondly, I do not support the lowering of the age of consent below 18 years of age. With these clarifications entered for the record I am happy to vote for Mr Haarder's report."@en1
