"I support the Tuberculosis Vaccine Initiative. In my opinion, it is our moral duty as Europeans not only to assume some of the responsibility for research and for seeking new cures, but also to assist poor countries to train health workers and to develop at least a basic healthcare network. Human solidarity must reach out beyond the borders of countries and continents. If we cease to feel this solidarity, we cease to be human. It is in the interests of preserving our humanity that I am unable to support the approved text of the motion for a resolution. The text contains a reference to the killing of unborn children, which a majority of those in this Parliament regard as being a component of reproductive health. I abstained from voting, because I cannot agree that the fight against the tuberculosis pandemic in the poorest parts of the world is in any way connected with the inhuman practice of usurping the right to decide on the life and death of the unborn child."@en1
