This is an ASTOUNDING advance for the struggle for fetal rights in the Western World.
I am really surprised that pro-lifers around the world have not grasped the significance of this court ruling.
To my knowledge, it is the first time, outside of the US, that a Western country where abortion is legal has ruled in favour of fetal rights.
And in a very secular country to boot.
We should be jumping up and down at this ruling. It’s hugely significant.
Not only does it cover babies after 20 weeks-- but ALL unborn babies.
The unborn baby is not a person, but at least he has status (if only when dead). He has an identity–a NAME! For goodness sakes, a NAME FOR A FETUS.
Do you not see the cultural implications?
Once the fetus has an identity, it’s game over for the pro-aborts.
Maybe it’s because I’m Canadian that I see this as a huge advance, and Americans are more used to seeing court rulings in their favour.
But this is very, very big. The feminists in France are starting to get scared about the emergence of the pro-life philosophy in Europe.
That isn’t right. Babies can survive from at least 22 weeks.
