DUBLIN, Feb 19 (LSN) – The Irish Times reported that on Tuesday the European Parliament adopted a report condemning Ireland for banning pro-abortion propaganda. The report “demands” that access to such information be ensured in all member-states. The EU parliament's committee on civil liberties and internal affairs prepared the report. Fianna Fáil Munster MEP, Mr Brian Crowley, criticized the report saying that the matter was outside the competence of the EU.  Crowley also noted that the annual report on respect for human rights within the EU called on member-states to recognize what amounted to “marriages between homosexuals.” He urged that these matters were for each member-state to determine itself.
