"All voters want the politicians they elect to stick to the platform on which they were elected. I am a member of the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats, and I made a commitment to respect the platform of Christian-democratic values represented by this group. These include supporting the principles of the protection and promotion of human dignity and, consequently, respect for the right to life and the uniqueness of every human being from conception to natural death. When a political programme sets out values to promote, it is only natural to follow it, including in the voting lists. The electorate does not like being betrayed by its elected representatives, particularly with regard to the essential values for which it elected us. The protection of life at all times, from conception to natural death, is a non-negotiable part of any political calculation. According to the World Health Organisation’s definition, the concept of ‘sexual and reproductive health’ includes the reality of promoting the termination of unwanted pregnancies. That is why I voted against Amendments 8 and 9. As these amendments were adopted, they have amended the resolution in a way contrary to the PPE-DE Group’s platform of values."@en1
