lpv:translated text	"Just imagine that fanatic, aggressive anti-abortion activists were to descend upon the Netherlands in order to protest there against abortion using the kind of improper arguments I have heard from that side of the Chamber, and they were stopped at the Dutch border by military police. If that were to happen, this House would be up in arms. Abortion legislation is indeed a national issue, but freedom of expression of opinion is a fundamental right of all European citizens across Europe. Every six minutes, somewhere in the world, a woman dies of the effects of an illegal termination, and in Portugal alone, these practices have already claimed one hundred casualties in the last two decades. In that light, the Portuguese Government’s blocking of information and debate is incomprehensible, and, as far as I am concerned, a disgrace for democracy. Our fellow-Europeans in Portugal have the same right to information and debate as all others. I therefore rely on the Commission to uphold European basic rights."@en1
