On the 23rd of April 2013, a written question entitled “Does the European Convention on Human Rights set out a right to abortion?” (No. 633, Doc. 13181) was addressed to the Committee of Ministers (CM) by the President of the EPP group, Mr Luca VOLONTÈ.
Mr Volontè asked the Committee of Ministers:
- Can the Committee of Ministers confirm that the Council of Europe is not committed to a policy of promoting access to abortion?
- Can the Committee of Ministers, to the extent that it comprises representatives of the States Parties to the European Convention of Human Rights and the European Social Charter, confirm that it was never the intention of the authors of these instruments to establish a convention-based right to abortion?
· The European Parliament adopted a resolution calling for the inclusion of the so-called right to abortion in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.
· The anti-life projects proposed by our ruling coalition are only the beginning of a political process leading to the normalisation of the mass killing of unborn children.
· The French law of 1974, which was only supposed to open the floodgates to prenatal killing for women in distress, in fact established a new legal foundation through which almost a quarter of a million children lose their lives in France every year.
· Abortion advocates manipulate human rights slogans which remain relevant to Polish citizens in order to force the public into supporting abortion.
