lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the Van Lancker report talks about prevention, education and health, but certain groups have tried to turn this into a report on abortion. They have lied to us, manipulated, blackmailed and coerced us, and have even claimed that abortions lead to breast cancer. We have been put under an intolerable amount of pressure. The Van Lancker report aims to eradicate certain inconsistencies, such as only giving the right to choose to women who are wealthy, and denying this right to all those who are not. Women of a high socio-economic class are able to solve the problem. It is women with fewer opportunities who still have a problem. The report also exposes the hypocrisy of failing to provide sufficient sex education and then refusing the possibility of abortion. Mr President, Spanish women used to travel to London to have abortions. Now Portuguese women travel to Spain. Is this right? Is it sensible or fair? Does it make any sense in the context of the European Union? The Van Lancker report provides guidelines with a view to reducing the number of abortions that take place. Better prevention and education will lead to fewer abortions. The Van Lancker report is balanced and the rapporteur has been flexible and generous with the right-wing groups in negotiating amendments, yet the representatives of the Left do not want to know. They do not understand, probably because they do not stay for the debates – they just give their opinion and leave. We think that many women in the European Union and from outside the Union are awaiting the result of this report. The report must be adopted by Parliament, as many women are awaiting its guidance, and all those who have been using blackmail need to learn their lesson, namely that, on Thursday, this Parliament will adopt Mrs Van Lancker’s excellent report."@en1
