"Our part of the world having the privilege to live in wealth has a great responsibility to those who suffer hunger and whose future is uncertain.
I believe we can speak with one voice according to our humanitarian responsibility. United in this noble cause we can change a lot.
That is why I am against paragraphs introducing so-called ‘reproductive and sexual rights’ which are simply trying to win our support for abortion. This subject was not in the original Commission proposal. It appeared in Parliament. It is very unfortunate message for those Europeans who do not agree with abortion and do not want to pay for such practices, hidden in this document under the technical term ‘reproductive right’.
Do we really want this message to be sent? We cannot disrespect Catholics’ beliefs only because they are in minority today. Our message to them is clear: it says that Europe is not their responsibility any more!
In conclusion it weakens our fight against poverty and weakens European integration.
Therefore I called for support for Amendments 1, 2 and 3. I could not vote in favour of this report without them."@en1
