The European Court of Human Rights will allow the Family Research Council (FRC) and two other pro-life organizations to defend Ireland's abortion ban in court. The Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) will represent FRC.
Three women who sought an abortion in Ireland are fighting to establish a “right” to abortion in the nation. A hearing could come next year.
“No one should be allowed to decide that an innocent life is worthless," ADF chief counsel Benjamin Bull said. "ADF and FRC are looking forward to defending Ireland’s abortion ban so that scores of preborn children are guaranteed the protection the Irish people gave them.
“This case is not only pivotal to Europe; it’s pivotal to America. With greater frequency, the U.S. Supreme Court looks across the ocean to see what other countries are doing when considering its own cases. This case could be the Roe v. Wade of Europe.”
