"I voted against both of the alternative motions to this report. I find it deeply hypocritical that we are willing to engage in supporting these vital services to those in other parts of the world but are not willing to consider their role in our own Member States. There was much lobbying on the original report and much of that lobbying was either ill-informed or deliberately misleading and sensationalist. This Parliament has, rightly, spent time legislating to protect children and young people from abuse, but they need to know how to protect themselves and that is why sex education is important. No one has been advocating abortion as a form of contraception – indeed, it is often a failure of contraception which raises the issue. However, we know from years of experience that the availability of safe abortion is better than the backstreet alternative. No one in this House has advocated compulsory termination of pregnancy, yet those of us who wished to support the original Committee on Women’s Rights report have been accused of that. I believe the success of the EPP/ECR motion is a retrograde step for this House – hence my vote against their motion."@en1
