The European Parliament today voted against a report that recommended that high-quality abortion services become legal, safe, and accessible to all within the public health systems of EU member states.
In all, 351 MEPs voted in favour of referring the resolution, which was prepared by the Committee on Women's Rights and Gender Equality, back to committee whilst 319 MEPs voted against.
Earlier this week, the Maltese MPs said they would be voting against the report.
The motion stated that such services should also be available for non-resident women, who often sought such services in other countries due to restrictive abortion laws in their country of origin, and to avoid clandestine abortions that seriously endangered women's physical and mental health.
It stressed that it was essential for individual, social and economic development that women have the right to decide freely and responsibly the number, timing and spacing of their children, as established by international human rights law.

"It stressed that it was essential for individual, social and economic development that women have the right to decide freely and responsibly the number, timing and spacing of their children, as established by international human rights law."
This is what the EU pro-abortion lobby is contending - the usual EU politically correct nonsense that is ruining the whole concept of European Union.
I have another alternative suggestion they might adopt and that is, that people behave RESPONSIBLY by refraining from excess sexual activity and if they do want to indulge in such activity, they should take the necessary PRECAUTIONS and NOT revert to murder.
