Dear members of ECPYouth,
Considering:
The current rate of children being killed before they are even born - 17% of pregnancies in Europe end in abortion, while in some European states like Austria 29% of pregnancies end in abortion
The removal of the constitutional right to live in Irelandin order to make way for legal abortion
The importance of the fundamental right to dignity of all human beings recognised in art.1 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights
The importance of the fundamental right to life of all recognized by art.2 of the EU Charter
The physical and psychological post-abortive consequences experienced by women are akin to the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, such as a 150% increase in suicide, 81% increase in mental health problems and 50% increase in future pre-term deliveries, just to name a few
The increased danger of female infertility increases 0.94 times with the increase in abortions, making abortion the second highest cause of female infertility
we firmly call upon:
All MEPs of the ECPM and members of ECPYouth to support national and local pro-life policies which aim to safeguard the life of the unborn, as well as support pro-family policies that aim to help mothers and families of low socio-economic status
All members of ECPM andECPYouth to work to implement educational programs on the realities of abortion and post-abortive syndrome, as well as on the relational and psychological significance of sex
