lpv:translated text	"Mr President, we shall vote in favour of this resolution in spite of all the criticism that can be directed at it. If the European Parliament can prevent a crime from being committed against Amina Lawal by adopting a position, then this is what it must do. Condemning a woman for having given birth to a child, in the name of antiquated laws, is a despicable crime, in the same way as all forms of oppression of women and all forms of mutilation are despicable, whether or not they are perpetrated in the name of religion. We firmly echo the protests against the fact that women are oppressed and deprived of their human rights in the name of the Sharia law, but we are equally firmly opposed to what is being done in the name of the Vatican or the Bible. We must, of course, condemn the barbaric acts in Nigeria, but we must also condemn these acts when they are committed in the United States, this superpower which poses as a model of modern civilisation, or even here, in the European Union which tolerates some of its Member States implementing laws which ban women from enjoying the basic right to own and control their own bodies. Whilst we oppose acts of barbarism perpetuated elsewhere, we must also ensure that our own house is in order."@en1
