"Progress on equality between women and men in the European Union in 2013 is a report that was voted upon in Parliament on 10 March 2015. I welcome the elements of this report that deal with equality for women. The report referenced important issues like gender pay gaps, gender equality and violence against women. However, it is my view that the formulation and implementation of policies on abortion are a matter for each individual Member State and not the European Parliament.
Parliament must not overstep its competence and must recognise the principle of subsidiarity, which is a founding principle of the EU. Therefore I voted to take out any reference to abortion from the report on equality. I felt that the report overall had merit and advocated for equality for women and as such, I was happy to support it."@en1
