Nuala Scarisbrick of the pro-life charity Life, told BBC News Online: "This is not a surprising decision. But it is a disgusting one. It is morally bankrupt."

"Woman has abortion against will in France, court says no harm done"

I thought we kicked the Nazis out of France. Maybe they should come back; they'd be right at home.

[Malesherbes]

No harm done, eh! Of course, the woman has a strange name, doesn't really sound froggish enough, probably woggish.

this decision shows why people don't like lawyers (listening J. Edwards?) Lawyers try to win their cases, and try to advance or protect a political interest rather than following what is right/common sense.

[Colofornian]

We'll see now how authentic the "pro-choicers" are...if "pro-choice" is not just a smokescreen for pro-abortion, then the abortion trade and abortion propagandists should be holding press conferences and really being vocal about this case. After all, a woman's right to choice was violated in a supposedly prominent "pro-choice" region of the world.

But listen. Just listen. You don't (and won't) hear anything.

the doc didn't notice a pregnancy six months along?

One dead baby and there's no harm done?

Who thinks this stuff up?

France's highest court - which overturned the ruling on the grounds that the foetus was not a human being and not entitled to the protection of criminal law.

What was it, a bird a plane, a fish, a what?

This was an unfortunate medical error, the primary cause of which was the patient's inability to speak the language of the country she was living in. The doctor wasn't even trying to perform an abortion.

another woman, Thanh Van Vo, was due to have a coil removed at the same hospital

Any idea what a coil is?

European Ethics:

"Ooops -- I just murdered your child!...

...Good thing it wasn't a dolphin, or I'd really be in trouble."

Note: as the newest Bush ad says, John Kerry voted against the Laci (and Conner) Peterson Act, which would have increased penalties against people who deliberately, criminally kill unborn children against the mothers' will.

[Mamzelle]

This was a medical error--a "wrongful death" without any intent to force an abortion, which is what the thread title implies. If you want to hang medical personnel for errors, you'll have no medical personnel. But that'll have to be the choice of the public.

That being said, this does not sound like an emergency treatment, that there was time to get a pregnancy test.

[Tax Government]

The ruling sets a precedent on the legal status of unborn babies...

Whatever happened to the role of legislatures in creating laws? Have they permanently abdicated to judges? Rise up, rise up.
