Council of Europe Approves Resolution Asking Nations to Legalize Abortion

Strasbourg, France (LifeNews.com) -- The Council of Europe approved a resolution calling on its member nations to legalize abortion or pave the way for more abortions if they've already done so. Pro-life advocates in Ireland, Malta and Poland are concerned the measure will add to pressure to force them to overturn their pro-life laws. The report calls on all 47 member countries to guarantee ""women's effective exercise of their right to abortion and to lift restrictions which hinder access to safe abortion." The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe passed the resolution on a 102-69 vote with 14 members abstaining. The council also rejected amendments form pro-life members to weaken some of the pro-abortion language. "Today is a tragic day for Europe, not least because this report in favor of even more killing of unborn children was rushed through the Assembly without proper scrutiny," Pat Buckley of the British Society for the Protection of Unborn Children said after watching the vote. "Tragically, this is the first time that any international document has asserted a right to abortion," he added.
