"Mr Cashman is flouting the right of every Member of the European Parliament to exercise their free mandate and to freedom of conscience. No avowed Catholic can agree to a regulation that entails the killing of an unborn child. The report on reproductive and sexual health and their associated rights specifies the killing of unborn humans by the use of abortion as an instrument of family planning and population control in developing countries and as such will receive financial and political support from the EU. It is not only the right of every freely elected MEP to be allowed to oppose this, but it is also a matter of conscience for an avowed Catholic to vote against any regulation of this kind. On the contrary, Mr Cashman does not have the right, even in terms of his freedom of opinion, to attack an MEP for his or her free choice of vote in such an indefensible way. If Mr Cashman spoke for his entire group, this means that the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament, in terms of the issue of protection of the unborn child, is denying the fundamental right to life and, furthermore, regarding the criticism of those MEPs who voted against the report, the fundamental right to freedom of opinion, belief and conscience and to the free, democratic exercise of a political mandate. Mr Cashman’s accusations have been decisively rebutted."@en1
