lpv:translated text	". In the context of aid to the poorest countries, the US cannot impose a development model by implementing measures related to sexual and reproductive health rights. I am referring specifically to sterilisation and abortion. Under the guise of altruism in granting aid, the EU cannot promote and even less encourage these practices, for two fundamental reasons: the first is respect for human rights – and in particular to protect the right to life – and the second is due to the limits imposed by the sovereignty of the States and populations who will benefit from our financial aid. The content of this report is ambivalent and could lead to abuses as a result of its implicit promotion of abortion. Any options or measures decided on in this field, in the context of health, can only be determined by States in accordance with their national laws. We can only vote in favour of a report that safeguards the incontrovertible principle of the right to life and of respect for the sovereignty of States. We have no misgivings about the report’s assertion that abortion cannot under any circumstances be considered to be a method of family planning, and much less a service in the field of sexual and reproductive health."@en1
