"Madam President, Baroness Ashton, ladies and gentlemen, we are all saying what a wonderful report this is, and how could we say otherwise? We are all queuing up to point out some rights that are systematically violated: we have talked about acts of discrimination and violence against women, political rights, selective abortion, homosexuals, religious discrimination. I would like to bring to the attention of Baroness Ashton a category that receives no attention from Europe. I have tabled a written statement along with my fellow Members, Mr Casini, Ms Záborská, and Mr Takkula, to highlight the rights of the unborn, the many children who are not born because pregnancy is often accompanied by social and economic hardship that does not allow the woman to bring it to fruition. The rights of the unborn, not only of women – first and foremost to see the light of day, to come into this world, to have a life – rights with which Europe does not concern itself. My written statement was rejected by the Presidency, saying that this is not an issue we can deal with. I would like to ask how many years, how many decades, how many centuries it is going to take in Europe for us to be able to consider the possibility of simply discussing the rights of the unborn child and then to recognise natural rights that are often denied on such a vast scale, here in Europe, even to a creature who is simply waiting, asking only to come into this world."@en1
