Ireland, which has been dubbed the Roe v. Wade case of Europe. ADF attorneys are defending legal protections for pre-born children on behalf of the Family Research Council in the European Court of Human Rights against three women who were denied abortions in Ireland and then sued to have the country’s constitutional amendment protecting innocent life abolished. Because the lawsuit will be decided in the Grand Chamber of the ECHR, the ruling will be binding on all lower chambers and member states, making the case pivotal for Europe with implications that could be felt globally.
