The compromise

Around 3,30pm the USA offered a compromised document with changes to paragraphs OP35 & 40., see below

OP35. Urges Governments, the international community and all other relevant stakeholders to give particular attention to the areas of shortfall in the implementation of the Programme of Action, including, the elimination of  preventable maternal morbidity and  mortality through strengthening health systems, equitable and universal access to quality , integrated and comprehensive sexual and reproductive health-care services , and by ensuring the access of adolescents and youth to accurate information and education on sexual and reproductive health including age-appropriate , evidence - based education on human sexuality , and promotion respect and protection of all human rights , especially the human rights of women and girls , and by addressing the persistence of discriminatory laws and the unfair and discriminatory application of laws :

OP40 . Reiterates the need for Governments to recognise the basic right of all couples and individuals to decide freely and responsibly  the number, spacing and timing of their children and to have the information and means to do so , and the right to attain the highest standard of sexual and reproductive health, as well as the right of women to have control over and decide freely and responsibly on matters related to their sexuality , including sexual and reproductive health free from coercion discrimination and violence as expressed in ICPD and Beijing.

These suggestions were a little better than the Chair's next but not much better.
