"Mr President, I would like to thank Mr Coveney for his extremely comprehensive and well written report. I particularly liked the fact that he not only clearly identified human rights abuses, he also identified and praised efforts to end such abuses where these efforts are being made. I trust this report will receive widespread and deserved approval. Will we give an equally positive response to the people who, through courage or desperation, flee these human rights abuses and arrive legally or illegally at our borders? I hope so.
I say to the Council that, unfortunately, the EU countries’ response to victims is often to close the door. There is the case of two Ukrainian doctors who risked their lives to expose local Ukrainian businesses that market organ tissue from 20-week-old babies, purchased, birthed and kept alive during the painful harvesting process. After attempts on their lives, the doctors escaped to Ireland last September. They are still in a holding centre with no assurance of being granted asylum and facing the possibility of deportation and death.
I will not support proposed amendments that would change this constructive report by introducing yet another human rights abuse – abortion – into the already abusive situation of war. One abuse cannot justify another. A woman who has been abused by a rapist needs help and protection, not more death and destruction."@en1
