"Madam President, I voted against this report simply because one element, already raised in this debate by Mr Silvestris, receives short shrift. First of all, we have the fact that the idea of the protection of the fundamental right to life – specifically from natural conception to a natural death – receives practically no mention at all in such a fundamental report on human rights. Then we have the fact that the issue of the fundamental right to freedom of religious expression, especially where this is under threat for Christians, is also given a raw deal in this report.
The most fundamental right that Europe has developed is the recognition of the right to live. This right to life begins with a natural conception and ends with a natural death. In between these two events, people have a right to be in the world, yet this fundamental right is not once mentioned in this report. Mr Silvestris raised what I believe to be a very sore point in this regard yesterday. As much as I share the other ideas expressed in this report as a matter of principle, this shortcoming in the report needs to be pointed out. I therefore voted against this report."@en1
