"Women in Spain deserve the full support of Parliament to oppose the appalling anti-abortion legislation being proposed by the right-wing government in their country. Control over their bodies is a fundamental right for women. Women should have access to safe abortion. We are only talking about access – no-one is forcing women to have abortions or doctors to perform them, contrary to the propaganda put forward by the ECR Group and others. Few women undergo abortion with a light heart – it is generally a difficult and heart-rending decision. Taken together with the fact that there is always a time limit after which abortion is illegal, these two aspects of the abortion question provide protection for the unborn foetus as well as the living woman. Access to abortion is essential to protect the health of all women in the European Union. Health has long been regarded as a competence and abortion definitely comes under this category. Health is recognised as a cross-border matter. Those female EU citizens living in Spain should have access to abortion and all aspects of reproductive health. Fundamental rights in the EU, including the right to health, do not stop at national borders."@en1
