"We shall be voting in favour of this report because it proposes a policy of encouraging sex education and contraception, because it clearly states that abortion should be legalised, safe and accessible to all, and because it calls on governments to refrain in any case from prosecuting women who have undergone illegal abortions. However, I condemn the fact that the report merely recommends or urges governments, instead of forcing them to include, in their legislation, laws along these lines. Like other women, I do not regard abortion as a normal method of contraception. However, a woman’s right to have control over her own body ought to be an inalienable right. It is revolting that in certain countries of the European Union that right is denied in law, while in other countries it is denied in practice. I also find it extremely shocking that even here, in the European Parliament, speakers dare to oppose the few improvements that this report proposes by propounding ideas which are as barbarous as they are reactionary and by voting against this report."@en1
