On 8 June 2023 the Strasbourg Court rejected the application of eight Polish citizens claiming to be \u201cpotential victims\u201d, of the recently changed Polish law protecting unborn children with disabilities from abortion. The applicants claimed that, hypothetically, they would not be granted abortions on the grounds of \u201cfetal abnormalities\u201d after the Constitutional Tribunal of Poland found that such a reason for an abortion would be contrary to the Polish constitution in 2020.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">ADF International intervened in the case in support of the legal protections for children with disabilities. The Strasbourg Court held that the women had failed to produce any evidence that they were personally affected by the changes in Polish law to protect unborn children with disabilities. As a result the Court dismissed their applications stating that they made claims which were hypothetical and too \u201cremote and abstract\u201d to be considered by the court.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cEvery child has a right to life \u2013 regardless of her health conditions. Children with special medical needs should be protected and cared for, a truly humane society will care for its weakest members. This is why international law calls for \u201cappropriate legal protection, [for children] before as well as after birth\u201d, as stated in the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Despite the pressure of a large scale organised pro-abortion campaign, the European Court of Human Rights court has refused to hold there is a \u201cright to abortion\u201d in international law,\u201d said Lorc\u00e1n Price, Legal Counsel for the legal advocacy organization ADF International.&nbsp; <\/span>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The decision of the Polish Constitutional Tribunal to protect unborn children with disabilities led abortion advocates to launch a legal campaign against Poland. In AM and Others v. Poland the applicants claim that as women of child- bearing age, legal protections for unborn children with special needs or health conditions infringed on their \u201cright to respect for family and private life\u201d as guaranteed in Article 8 of the European Convention of Human Rights. However, Europe\u2019s top human rights court has repeatedly confirmed, that \u201cArticle 8 cannot be interpreted as conferring a right to abortion.\u201d (P. and S. v. Poland and A,B,C v. Ireland)<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cThe constant efforts to dehumanize unborn babies with disabilities such as those with Down Syndrome are deeply unjust. Across Europe almost all babies who are prenatally diagnosed with Down Syndrome are aborted: nearly 100 percent in Iceland, 98 percent in Denmark and 90 percent in the United Kingdom. Countries must protect the rights of unborn children with disabilities, we have an obligation to act in accordance with basic human rights which extend to all people,\u201d Price continued.&nbsp; <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-25fe786 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"25fe786\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d1c3a78 elementor-widget elementor-widget-gallery\" data-id=\"d1c3a78\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;aspect_ratio&quot;:&quot;1:1&quot;,&quot;lazyload&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;gallery_layout&quot;:&quot;grid&quot;,&quot;columns&quot;:4,&quot;columns_tablet&quot;:2,&quot;columns_mobile&quot;:1,&quot;gap&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;link_to&quot;:&quot;file&quot;,&quot;overlay_background&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;content_hover_animation&quot;:&quot;fade-in&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery__container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item elementor-animated-content\" href=\"https:\/\/adfinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Lorcan_Price_2.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"d1c3a78\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6ODgzLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczpcL1wvYWRmaW50ZXJuYXRpb25hbC5vcmdcL3dwLWNvbnRlbnRcL3VwbG9hZHNcLzIwMjFcLzA3XC9Mb3JjYW5fUHJpY2VfMi5qcGciLCJzbGlkZXNob3ciOiJkMWMzYTc4In0%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-image elementor-gallery-item__image\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/adfinternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Lorcan_Price_2.jpg\" data-width=\"400\" data-height=\"400\" aria-label=\"\" role=\"img\" ><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In AM and Others v.
