"Mr President, I abstained on the Van Lancker report for many of the reasons already mentioned by Mrs Ahern, but I abstained also because there are some very good points in the report. It clearly states that abortion should not be used as a birth control method. I am a UN Goodwill Ambassador for Reproductive Health. I have seen for myself the alarming and terrifying rise of HIV/Aids not just in the developing countries but also in the applicant countries. I believe that reproductive health services are a right and should be available for all. There is no legislation for abortion in Ireland. This report will cause us considerable problems in relation to the forthcoming constitutional amendment. We have a huge and unacceptable level of abortion in Ireland. While I fully accept that the European Union has no competence in this matter, the provision of reproductive health – as rightly stated by Commissioner Byrne – is an intrinsic part of a good public health service."@en1
