Europe rejects foetal rights bid
A woman whose pregnancy was wrongly terminated in a French hospital has lost her fight at the European Court to enshrine a foetus' right to life.
Mrs Thi-Nho Vo went to the court after French courts said the doctor could not be prosecuted for homicide as the foetus did not have the right to life.

She said it had that right under the European Convention on Human Rights.

But the Court of Human Rights ruled against her, and involuntary abortion did not constitute manslaughter.

That's sick!

I mean what about HER right to have the child?

I mean isn't it a crime to "steal" or damage personal property, I'm not saying the child was property, he/she,s a human being. I'm just saying that they seem to care more about weather some inanimate object belonging to the mother is stolen than the unlawful KILLING of her child.
