"Mr President, China’s one-child policy is linked with a phenomenon that major 20th century writers from Schlamm to Solzhenitsyn have described as a dictatorship of lies. The Chinese regime claims that this is a campaign by the local authorities. We should not let ourselves be fooled here. This involves a general atmosphere that has been built up systematically over decades and that has its roots in the one-child policy. As long as the one-child policy exists, we will have forced abortions and sterilisations, as well as brutal attacks like those recently perpetrated.
That is why the real issue here is the one-child policy. We must uphold the freedom of the parents – by which I mean a man and a woman Ms Vergiat – to make decisions and we must uphold the right to life of the unborn child. This is true the whole world over. This is also one of the universal human rights, the right to life, from inception to natural death. Even though we do not have such forced policies, we Europeans also need to put our own house in order and to ensure that human beings are not killed in their mother’s womb. That cannot be considered abuse. The focus today is on China, however: based on human rights, we say ‘no’ to the one-child policy."@en1
