Challenge to Ireland’s pro-life laws goes to European Court of Human Rights
LifeSiteNews: “Third-party interveners Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC), the European Center for Law and Justice and the Alliance Defense Fund (on behalf of Family Research Council), contend that it is ‘Ireland’s sovereign right to determine when life begins’ and what rights attach to pre-natal life. They also claim that domestic remedies have not been exhausted, and that therefore the ECHR lacks jurisdiction to hear the case.”
