WASHINGTON DC, December 13 (C-FAM) The European left is outraged today as a
controversial resolution went down to a totally unexpected defeat in the
European Parliament on Tuesday in Brussels. Called the Estrela Report, the
resolution called for a whole host of “sexual and reproductive rights.”

Writing<http://www.turtlebayandbeyond.org/2013/abortion/european-parliament-extremist-sexual-health-and-rights-report-to-promote-compulsory-child-abuse/>at
the blog Turtle Bay and Beyond, European human rights lawyer JC von
Krempacresh said the non-binding Estrela report would have defined abortion
as a human right, a first in the European context, eliminate conscience
protection for medical personnel, federally fund abortion and
in-vitro-fertilization, and through “comprehensive sexuality education”
begin<http://c-fam.org/en/issues/human-rights-system/7644-sexual-left-outraged-over-rejection-by-european-parliament#>to
teach toddlers about things like masturbation.

The report was first advanced in October but was voted back to committee
for revision. Even that was hailed as a great defeat for the European
sexual left. And European pro-lifers celebrated understanding though the
document would come back which it did this week.

The growing international alliance of European pro-life groups organized to
put pressure on the parliament. An Estrela report Facebook page attracted
several thousand members within 24 hours of going up. Thousands of emails
flooded into MEP offices in Brussels and Strasbourg.

Irish Member of the European Parliament (MEP) Paul Murphy
said<http://www.paulmurphymep.eu/2013/12/rejection-of-estrela-report-shows-that-majority-of-meps-have-one-foot-in-the-dark-ages/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter>,
“With the rejection of the Estrela report that dealt with Sexual and
reproductive rights, the majority of the European Parliament has shown
themselves to have one foot firmly in the Dark Ages. An array of backward
anti woman<http://c-fam.org/en/issues/human-rights-system/7644-sexual-left-outraged-over-rejection-by-european-parliament#>,
anti-choice groups mobilised to put pressure on MEPs to vote against this
report. These groups masquerade as being pro-life however…they have scant
regard for the lives and health of
women<http://c-fam.org/en/issues/human-rights-system/7644-sexual-left-outraged-over-rejection-by-european-parliament#>
.”

Edite Estrela, author of the
report<http://www.lgbt-ep.eu/press-releases/european-parliament-rejects-resolution-on-sexual-and-reproductive-health-rights/>and
Member of the LGBT Intergroup, said, “It’s shameful that in 2013, the
European Parliament adopted a more conservative resolution than the
previous text on this issue, adopted in 2002. This shows how much work
remains to defend the rights of
women<http://c-fam.org/en/issues/human-rights-system/7644-sexual-left-outraged-over-rejection-by-european-parliament#>and
minorities. This is a battle lost, not the war.” Estrela described her
opponenst as “grubby alliance of right and far-right groups.”

Austrian MEP Ulrike Lunacek, Co-President of the LGBT Intergroup and spokesman
for the Green Party<http://www.lgbt-ep.eu/press-releases/european-parliament-rejects-resolution-on-sexual-and-reproductive-health-rights/>said,
“I’m shocked and ashamed by this vote. By a very narrow margin,
colleagues refused discussing and enhancing the rights of women and LGBT
persons in detail.”

Prior to the report the European Humanist Association
warned<http://humanistfederation.eu/womens-rights-threatened-again-by-conservatives-at-the-european-parliament/http://humanistfederation.eu/womens-rights-threatened-again-by-conservatives-at-the-european-parliament/>that
Members of the European Parliament “have been harassed  - more than 80
000 emails received – by extremist religious organizations requesting them
to reject the report, sometimes with personal threats. These organizations
have spread the most shameful lies about the content of the report, saying
for instance that its adoption would lead to compulsory masturbation for
children or to legalization of paedophilia in Europe.”

Until recently European pro-lifers have not been organized at the
international level but in recent years that has changed dramatically.
The One-of-Us
Campaign <http://www.oneofus.eu/> calling on the European Commission to
take up the cause of unborn children gathered 1.8 million signatures from
around Europe and guarantees the issues will be on the European agenda in
the coming months.
