Estrela-Report: Socialist MEPs launch new attempt to push abortion

By J.C. von Krempach, J.D. | January 9, 2014

Only four weeks after the notorious Estrela-Report’s spectacular defeat in the European Parliament’s plenary session of 10 December, the EU’s abortionist-homosexualist lobby launches a new attempt to get at least some form of approval for its sinister agenda from the European Parliament. This time they seek to instrumentalize the European Commission to provide the occasion for a surprise attack.

On 16 January the plenary agenda of the EP includes a Commission statement on “Non-discrimination in the framework of sexual and reproductive health and rights”, i.e. a statement to be made by a representative of the European Commission. As it appears, the S&D group wants to use his opportunity to achieve a new resolution on sexual health (presumably with the same or similar content as the defeated Estrela-Report) by requesting the use of a procedure foreseen by Rule 110 of the EP Rules. Indeed, Rule 110 states that “Members of the Commission, the Council and the European Council may at any time ask the President of Parliament for permission to make a statement.” A resolution might be added at a later stage: “When placing a statement with debate on its agenda, Parliament shall decide whether or not to wind up the debate with a resolution.”

In other terms, the S&D group does not accept that citizens don’t want the Estrela-Agenda. For them he promotion of abortion, the undermining of freedom of conscience, and the imposition of compulsory sex education programs is the absolute top priority.

What can ordinary citizens do to defend themselves against these repeated attacks by a decadent and disconnected caste of politicians? All those who have written to their MEPs to make them vote against the Estrela-Report should again do so. And all who disagree with the homosexualist-abortionist agenda should use the upcoming elections to vote against the politicians who support it.

Postscript: It now emerges that what is behind this initiative of the S&D Group to ask the Commission for a statement on “reproductive health” is an attempt to “internationalize” the intra-Spanish debate on a new abortion law. As was reported in a previous post on this blog, the Spanish government is planning to repeal the ultra-radical abortion law that was pushed through by the anti-life Zapatero administration some years ago, and which was the first law in Europe to define abortion as a “right”. The new law, though not ideal, would mark an important step into the right direction. Instead of defining abortion as a “right”, it would clarify that abortion is a grave injustice that can be tolerated only under exceptional circumstances. This new law would also be of great symbolic importance: it would demonstrate that there it is not the natural course of events that abortion laws become more and more radical, but that a turn-around is possible. Progress is on the side of life, not on the side of child-killing.

No wonder that the retrograde PSOE-marxists are angry and scared. For them the Zapatero-era, where the concepts of marriage and parenthood were distorted beyond recognizability, abortion was made available on demand, and school curricula contained compulsory  courses on masturbation, was the apogee of civilisation. Their strategy is now to attack their own country from the outside, using the anti-life lobby of the European Parliament as partners.
