"During yesterday’s vote in plenary on the Annual Report on Human Rights and Democracy in the World in 2010, I voted in favour of the full texts of paragraphs 93 and 101 respectively, and thus against the position of the Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats). I am very concerned that women in crisis regions are given general access to the public health care system, to medical information and to appropriate educational programmes. Sadly, in armed conflicts, the rape of women is often used as a weapon against the entire population. Like many of my colleagues in the PPE Group, I am personally opposed to abortion in principle. In this report on human rights, however, we were not voting in principle on access to health services; rather, we discussed specifically the possibility of abortion following rape in situations of war and conflict. In this context, I consider the woman’s dignity to be the overall objective, and that is what I would hope to uphold by voting the way I did."@en1
