Supporters and opponents of abortion rights heatedly clashed yesterday in the European Parliament . The House debated the second European citizens' initiative , a tool that requires Brussels to rule on any cause that brings a million signatures in seven states . The document, which talks about the defense of life from the moment of conception and that calls for the EU to stop funding research on stem cells and halt any development assistance that directly or indirectly finance the performance of abortions , has assembled one , 7 million signatures. The European Commission does not intend to change these policies, which have the support of the Member States , but must submit a proposal in writing by May 28 to respond to this request.
The initiative, which began in 2012 promoted by some of the most conservative , as the leader of the PP in the Parliament Jaime Mayor Oreja and Italian MEPs Cassini- Carlo , which has the support of organizations against reproductive rights , comes at a time that the abortion debate is hot. Spanish Justice Minister Alberto Ruiz- Gallardón, has stated that he expects the Spanish - restrictive new law allows abortion only in cases of rape or risk to the health of the woman is copied in other countries. Something that worries some like France , whose government described it as an attack on the autonomy of women.
The ultra-conservative discourses are reflected in the initiative - One of us calls and consider the embryo - debated yesterday in Brussels . Their representatives denied that his proposal alluded to abortion - hardly defensible in European competition when national institutions - and , instead , addressed related issues such as research and external cooperation . A formula in fact that Brussels ruling on the protection of the life of the unborn . "From the moment of conception the individual life begins and deserves respect," said Gregor Puppinck Patrick , one of the promoters of the initiative, which he compared abortion and slavery.
The action began in 2012 at the hands of ultra-conservative MEPs
Deputy Teresa Riera , head of the European Parliament of the processing of large research program Horizon 2020 , countered the criticism and recalled that this project received unanimous support from all political groups. " European research funds can finance projects stem cells if permitted in each member country , which requires a process of scientific evaluation and stringent ethical review ," he said .
"This initiative calls transfer funds stem cell research to other exploring , for example, work with cells of the intestine ," proposed the conservative Dutch Peter van Dalen . Jaime Mayor Oreja attributed the majority defending such practices " there are dominant fashions in Europe."
In this context , the Commission would adopt a neutral position impossible . Neither the Commissioner for Research Máire Geoghegan- Quinn, as the Overseas Development , Andris Piebalgs , entered the merits. His number two, were it something more explicit. " We do not promote abortion with our policies ," said Markus Cornaro , Deputy Director of Development and Cooperation.
Called ' One of us ' , seeks to defend life from conception
The EU allocated € 321 million in 2012 to sexual and reproductive health in developing countries. Activities include training health workers , supply of equipment and medicines and support to NGOs engaged in health , so that , in countries where it is legal , the money can support European health systems that perform abortions . Brussels added that their projects have enabled 7.5 million births in good health at 10 years.
Numerous activists attended the public meeting to express their distaste for the initiative. "We are in 2014 and we talked about women moving back to the Middle Ages ," said Viviane Teitelbaum this newspaper , president of the European Women's Lobby . Irene Donadio , IPPF (International Planned Parenthood Federation ) Network , warned that accepting citizen petition would " cut resources and limit the European commitment to development."
