Update: “For the second time in two months, the European Parliament rejected a report that recommended that EU nations declare abortion to be a human right and to make abortion available within all public health systems of member countries. Adoption of the report would have placed more pressure on pro-life nations like Ireland, Poland and Malta to legalize abortion on demand.” Click here for original article. 

The European Parliament will vote Tuesday on a report, known as the Estrela Report, which will decide whether or not abortion is a “human right.” This is important first because it is absurd to think that abortion is a human right. This is important secondly because this vote will no doubt have consequences for America.

As Americans continue to recognize that life should be defended from conception to natural death, the abortion industry grows desperate. Clinics are closing at unprecedented rates, pro-life laws are being passed by states like never before, and most Americans now identify as pro-life than in the last 40 years. This spells trouble for the money making machine of the abortion industry.

A vote, such as the one taking place tomorrow, will have a ripple effect on the United States. Should the European Parliament find a “human right” to abortion, we can be sure the most pro-abortion president in U.S. history and his administration will seek to further push their pro-abortion agenda on us. However, if the vote defends life, we can expect an increased surge in the protection of life here in the states.

In case you are not familiar with the Estrela report, and why it is dangerous, a recent article explains what the report contains:

• says that abortion is a human rights concern, uses the myth of backstreet abortion to claim moral high ground yet no national or International law states abortion is a human right (section 33)

• gives free reign to abortionists, calls for the non-prosecution of abortion (section 36)

• presents liberal abortion laws, sex education, contraception as the ideal (section AK)

• says attention should be devoted to killing unborn children, claims sex education and contraception prevents unwanted pregnancies, contrary to the peer-reviewed evidence (section AE)

• calls for the rejection and overriding of all pro-life laws (section 7)

singles out and attacks traditionally pro-life countries for protecting unborn children (section U)

• wants the EU to skirt around the right of Member States to implement pro-life laws and policies, via EU strategies and policies about public health (section 13)

• wants new EU Member States to make access to abortion and contraception easier, considering prolife laws and policies as obstacles (section 17)

• wants to curtail countries from protecting its citizens, born and unborn (section 29)

• calls for abortion on demand on spurious “risk to health or life” grounds, discriminates against unborn children conceived in rape, makes no mention here of support for mothers who do not want to abort (section 66)

• again calls for the non-prosecution of abortion, dictates to EU Member States and countries wanting to join, making pro-abortion position a requisite for membership (section 37)

• attacks large families (section 26)

• attacks and wants to curtail conscientious objection to abortion, attacks faith based hospitals and staff (section 34)

• targets children and teens, calls for children, teens, young adults to act as sex education propagandists in the EU and even to candidate countries (section K and section 40)

• calls for compulsory anti-life sex education for primary school children onwards (section 41 and 45)

• wants to make sex education a human rights concern (section 42)

• dictates that the homosexual agenda must be promoted in schools (section 51)

• wants the EU to impose abortion as part of overseas development assistance (sections 76, 81, 85)

• anti-life definition of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHRs) purported as a human right, essential for highest level of health (sections G, 1, 4, 14, 25, 67)LifeNews Note: Pat Buckley a lobbyist for the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children.
