lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, the ICPD was undeniably a milestone in the history of population and development by focusing on the individual's sexual and reproductive health and rights. We would have expected that by now, ten years later, these rights had advanced further, but unfortunately they have instead come under severe attack. Several people have already mentioned what is known as the Mexico City Policy, which would be unconstitutional in the United States. Withholding US assistance from any organisation that in any way refers to abortion has already significantly increased the risk of unplanned pregnancies, sexually transmitted infections including HIV/AIDS and death and injury due to unsafe abortions. In addition to the catastrophic consequences of the Mexico City Policy, the worldwide commitment to the ICPD has been waning. Financial commitments have not been met. It is generally recognized that the millennium goals cannot be met without advances in women's reproductive health and rights. The effectiveness of reproductive programmes is still being eroded by a health policy that puts ideology before sound public health practices. Let me emphasise that nobody wants to use abortion as a means of family planning. I therefore urge you to vote against Amendment No 12. A number of amendments delete the rights of women, which naturally is totally unacceptable. I urge everybody to adopt this report so that the EU can send a strong signal of commitment to the ICPD."@en1
