"Madam President, I have listened to the views of the other side of the House, and I respect their views, but I do not endorse them. I believe that the draft Spanish law discriminates against women, and the argument of subsidiarity holds no weight. We express our views on foreign affairs, so why not abolish the Committee on Foreign Affairs if we are going to follow through on the argument of subsidiarity?
The EU mandates the European Union to defend human rights. Let us be absolutely clear: the Spanish draft law affects us all. If women are denied their basic rights in an EU Member State, such as Spain, it affects not only those women who live there but also other women citizens of that Member State or any women who work, reside, study or even go there as tourists. Therefore I say this: I stand by the generation of women who have fought for their right for equality, their right to choose what to do with their bodies and for their continuing fight. The denial of the rights of women is a competence of this House."@en1
