"At Rio, we saw NGOs wishing to take the place of democratically legitimised governments. I have my doubts about the functioning of democracy during multilateral negotiations. Associations that promote or that do not exclude abortion as a tool for controlling birth suffered a severe setback through the failure of the demands made throughout the Rio+20 negotiations. It should be noted that the phrase ‘sexual and reproductive health and associated rights’ was, in fact, deleted in the final statement. Yes, there are political issues and human problems that are indeed more urgent than the promotion of abortion around the world. Sustainable development, human progress for all and peace throughout the world will not be achieved without justice for all. Nevertheless, throughout the negotiations, the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), the United Nations Fund for Population Activities (UNFPA), Marie Stopes International, the Department of Social Welfare (DSW) and other organisations financed by the EU budget have explicitly established a link between sexual and reproductive health, abortion and sustainable development. Shockingly, these associations would have us believe that the children of the poorest families are children too many for humanity. They did not succeed. I therefore call on the Commission to abide by the outcome of Rio+20 and to stop financing these associations, since their actions no longer enjoy international consensus."@en1
