"Mr President, I should like to take this opportunity to welcome the victory of the ‘yes’ vote in yesterday’s referendum in Portugal on the decriminalisation of the voluntary termination of pregnancy in the first ten weeks, on the woman’s volition.
This result puts an end to all the false obstacles thus far created, including yesterday’s referendum, blocking the Portuguese Parliament from exercising its legitimate legal powers on this issue. The time has now come to make up for years and years of lost time.
I should like to thank all the MEPs from the Confederal Group of the European United Left/Nordic Green Left, who for years have shown solidarity with the struggle of Portuguese women, many of whom suffer the undignified and inhumane experience of being put on trial for abortion. Yesterday’s result is an important victory for Portuguese women and for all those who, like us, have fought for decades for an end to backstreet abortions, for the promotion of women's health and for free, aware and responsible parenthood."@en1
