The Constitutional Court affirms in its ruling on abortion that prenatal life is not unprotected. The court emphasizes that the system of deadlines defends the legal good of the unborn.
But not being a person lacks the fundamental right to life, the court says. The European Commission of Human Rights ruled for the first time on this issue in its decision of 13 May 1980 concerning the admissibility of a specific case concerning the United Kingdom in which there was a risk to the life or health of the pregnant woman.
