A British judge has authorized doctors to perform an abortion on a pregnant Catholic woman with developmental disabilities and a mood disorder, despite the objections of the woman’s mother and the woman herself. The woman is 22 weeks pregnant.
“I am acutely conscious of the fact that for the State to order a woman to have a termination where it appears that she doesn’t want it is an immense intrusion,” said Justice Nathalie Lieven in her ruling in the Court of Protection, June 21.
“I have to operate in [her] best interests, not on society’s views of termination,” Lieven explained, arguing that her decision is in the best interest of the woman.
The Court of Protection handles cases involving individuals judged to lack the mental capacity to make decisions for themselves.
The woman, who cannot been publicly identified, has been described as “in her twenties,” and is under the care of an NHS trust, part of the UK’s National Health Service.
Doctors at the trust wished to abort her pregnancy and argued that, due to her diminished mental capacity, the abortion would be less traumatic for the woman than giving birth, especially if the baby would then be placed in foster care.
The woman’s mother made clear to doctors and the court that she would assume care of her grandchild.
The woman is believed to have the mental capacity of a grade school-age child. She is reportedly Catholic, and her mother is Nigerian.
It is unknown if the pregnancy was conceived consensually, and police are investigating the circumstances of conception.
ht/ all your babies are belong to us…
another horror story from Europe–like the 12-yr-old who was so depressed she was “euthanized”
Horrible.
If the pro-abortion crowd doesn’t stand behind this woman, then it renders their chant of “My body. My choice.” into the complete bullshit that it is. What these cunts really love is killing babies.
The worlds mental state has never been worse than it is now! All the horror events and corrupt human misfits throughout history, added together, don’t equal the cabal of tyrannical and insane people in positions of authority in each and every country in this current day and age!
If only the same passed law was enforced in the US, decades ago,,
