| Greece | Greek constitution states: “The entire formation of one’s personality, including the right to bear a child” (article 5; par. 1), are protected” “One’s right to live (article 5, par. 2; article 7 par. 2)” is also protected “Abortions are allowed during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy26 (since 1982) | ü In Greek legal system there is the principle that an embryo is a legal person, if born alive. ü Another principle says that “with the probable course of events an embryo will be born alive”… |
| USA | The High Court admitted that the right to abort exists |
|
| Germany | The constitutional Court argued that life exists—and thus it has to be protected-from the moment of the implant of fertilized egg on womb’s wall. This takes place few days after fertilization | The law failed to recognize that the implant of an (eternal) soul27 into a fertilized embryo takes place at the same time as the 2 different sperms meet (at conception). Embryo with no eternal soul is dead, and embryo with no body… is aborted. |
| Ireland | Relaxed the absolute prohibition of abortions ruled there by religious rules |
|
| El Salvador | A 21-years-of-age-woman, raped, in El Salvador (a Central America country with ~7m people; Catholics), bore a baby dead | She brought to Court accused for murder |
