Three women have brought a case before the European Court of Human Rights, the three women allege that the Ireland’s strict laws on abortion violate their human rights.

This is the first case in more then 15 years to be brought before the European Court of Human Rights against the Irish government’s strict laws on abortion.

All three women have travelled to Britain to have abortion & by doing so allege that having to had to do so endangered their "health & well-being" as safeguarded by the European Convention on Human Rights.

The Irish government has engaged two leading lawyers to argue its case that the country has a sovereign right to protect the life of the unborn.

Though the Irish government’s position comes from the Irish being indoctrinated with Roman Catholic dogma & though I might be militantly atheistic, I’m in agreement with the Irish government position of protecting the life of the unborn.

Yes I might be an atheistic liberal, but unlike many atheists & other liberally minded folk, I don’t deny that a human life begins when egg fertilizes with sperm, because a human life does begin when egg fertilizes with sperm & to kill a human life is murder.

How much you dress abortion up abortion is the procedure of murdering a human life & therefore abortion rights are not human rights because abortion rights is just dressed up as the right to murder & no way is right to murder in cold blood a human right, in fact it’s the protection of a human life from murder which is a human right.

You’ll often hear liberals go on & on about abortion being a woman’s right as its her body & yes I’m often one who does often bark about an individual owning their own body, but that’s when there’s a singular adult human not when there’s a defence human being involved & not when it involves murdering that defenceless life.

Where I & Catholics depart on the issue of abortion or more correctly the reproductive process is that I’ve no problem with contraception. Now the Irish government as well as having strict laws on abortion have also had strict laws on contraception, but since the early 1990s the pill & condoms have been legally available to anybody over the age of consent in the Irish republic, so there’s no excuse for guys & girls to take responsibility.

Okay pregnancies can be accidental but any two decide to tango then they must know there’s that possibility & therefore need to take some responsibility. Both involved need to take responsibility for creating a human life & when unborn that life is definitely defenceless.

In Ireland abortion is legal if the life of the mother’s life is at risk & I’d add that abortion is also justified in cases of rape & incest, but abortion shouldn’t be legal as a means of birth control as it is here in Britain.

The Irish government allow women to travel elsewhere to get an abortion & don’t throw them in prison on returning to Ireland as some might think would be justified.

I’ve not heard of any case of a woman travelling out of the Irish Republic for an abortion having their health severely damaged in doing so; plus its their choice to travel to get an abortion & therefore purely on that point I don’t believe these women from Ireland have a case.

But as I said previously the right to abortion should never be considered a human right, for the right to abortion is the right to murder.
