**Strasbourg, France (LifeNews.com) – **A Polish woman is heading to a European Union human rights court to protest being denied an abortion in 2000. She claims that giving birth damaged her eyesight and she is now unable to take care of her three children.
Alicja Tysiac, who is now 35, went to doctors when she found out in February 2000 that she was pregnant a third time. Three ophthalmologists alleged that carrying the pregnancy to term would damage her eyesight but they refused to sign off on a paper needed to approve an abortion for health reasons.
