"Mr President, I welcome the report of Mrs Svensson, because it advances the discussion on women’s rights. In condemning violence against pregnant women, the report states, and I quote: ‘the perpetrator thereby harms more than one person’. I have been striving for years for women’s rights not to be placed in opposition to the rights of unborn children. The Svensson report has unfortunately not yet overcome this conflict.
Restricting the reproductive rights of women, which is currently understood primarily to mean the right to abortion, continues to be regarded as a form of violence against women. However, if we finally count unborn children as human beings, then artificially induced abortion is an act of violence against the unborn child.
In drafting a strategy for the fight against all forms of violence, the Commission should harmonise the rights of women and the rights of unborn children. The new strategy should protect women while also including mechanisms for protecting unborn children. This also emerges from the submitted report, but it has to be read carefully."@en1
