It seems that when you sign an international pact, you never know what the court established thereunder will come up with after a couple of decades. In case of France, that means being forced to allow homosexual adoption.

Some time ago, courts dealt with observance of law. These days, it looks like courts deal with what’s right or wrong basing on their understanding of concepts like discrimination.

Some time ago (Tysiac v. Poland), the Court came up with abortion under the right to privacy. Now it’s forcing gay adoption on France. Those courts, especially the international ones, can get quite out of line when they don’t get a sizeable collection of actual laws to base rulings on.

There also have been attempts on the part of the ruling body of the EU to require Poland to legalize abortion, attempts which Poland has not accepted. I have been surprised that the Pope defends the European government being established. We should put Europe in our prayers, so that such attempts end. This all has to do with the fate of an entire continent, traditionally Christian.

As for abortion, some of our European Parliament members made a counter-strike and launch an exhibition in the parliament building, showing the effect of abortion on the foeti. Radical pro-choice feminist MP’s went screaming.

Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be any serious force in the country in favour of restricting abortion laws. It’s allowed in case of serious danger to health of the mother, criminal origin (rape or incest in practice, though theoretically also lesser crimes) and heavy impairment of the child. Unfortunately even good Catholics tend to refer to the current law as a good compromise. This includes bishops. A radical party produced a letter asking for the official teaching of the Church in the matter as a result, but there was no answer.

Currently, we have liberals in power - which is a party that both claims the Catholic Church has too much presence in politics and includes professed Catholics openly claiming Charismatic movement membership or being Catholic writers - and while they seem to want to subsidise in vitro fertilisation, they at least don’t try to loosen up abortion laws or improve gay rights.
