Dziwi mnie, że w Polsce, "europejskim kraju" prawa kobiety do jej ciała i podejmowania decyzji zgodnych z jej sumieniem jest spychane na bok. Tylko kiedy trzeba odwrócić uwagę od niesprawnie działającego rządu temat powraca na "tapetę". Wciąż mam nadzieję, że w Polsce nastąpi laicyzacja państwa, a decyzje dotyczące in vitro, aborcji, eutanazji, a nawet podziału majątku kościelnego nie będą dyktowane przez strach przed publicznym zlinczowaniem lub zmniejszoną ilością głosów.

‘Liberty is the right to be left alone.’ In the Western world law students learn this slogan by heart. For women, however, being left alone by authorities is not enough to achieve liberty, they need protection from the unwanted consequences of human fertility as well.
Generally, a woman is fertile for forty years. In that period, about 500 of her eggs will ripen for fertilization. Two days out of every twenty-eight days the woman will be actually fertile, one seventh part or 14.3% of those thirty-five to forty years. When her male partner is young, he will desire coitus several times a week or even several times a day. Each time his ejaculate will contain hundreds of millions of sperma- tozoids, of which many more than 99,99% are destined to perish. Of the female egg cells at least 96%, preferably 99,8%, is also doomed to extinction. In fact, the human material for procreation is almost completely redundant. It is the coitus that men want and women often fear, because its usual by-product, pregnancy, is extremely hard to avoid. Women, however, seldom dare to refuse the demands of their male partners. Liberty for women, therefore, requires access to good contraception, sterilization and induced abortion. For this, able doctors, well-equipped hospitals or clinics, and professional medical staff are needed.
To finance this necessary health care is not a problem; in most countries of the Western world the willingness to fund this care is great. The real problem are the nearly ubiquitous laws that make undergoing, inducing or performing an abortion into a crime or felony. To stop medically safe abortions, it is enough to penalize just the physicians; for them, fear of losing their qualification will act as a perfectly efficient deterrent. However, this will in no way prevent women with unwanted pregnancies from aborting themselves or having recourse to an unprofessionally performed abortion.
Prohibition of legal and medically safe abortion will only lead to illegal, shady and risky practices. Moreover, the outcome of penalization is a rise of the abortion rate. Medical abortion is followed by good contraceptive advice or –at the woman’s wish– sterilization. Only rarely another unwanted pregnancy follows, whereas illegal abortions are often a recurrent event in a woman’s life. Consequently, abortion occurs much more frequently in countries where abortion is penalized and prosecuted than in countries where abortion is legal.
Laws should be just and effective. Anti-abortion laws are neither.
Can invoking human rights effectively establish women’s access to perfect birth control?

Human rights

Human rights are guaranteed in international treaties and conventions. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights of the United Nations (New York, December 10, 1948) has been exemplary, but is not binding. Internationally effective treaties are the European Convention for the protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR, Rome, 1950) of the Council of Europe, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (New York, 1966) of the United Nations.
Whenever articles of these conventions are invoked before a national judge, this judge may put aside national law and apply the invoked articles of one or both Conventions. The Council of Europe, consisting of 46 European countries, has an international court, the European Court of Human Rights – ECHR – in Strasbourg, that by applying the ECHR articles can overrule national laws and decisions made by national judges. This Court, however, judges cases only when all means of getting your rights in your own country have been used to the full, but in vain.
In the following, two recent verdicts of the Strasbourg court will be discussed.

The right to life

Generally, those who plead for laws against abortion do so by emphasizing the right to life of ‘the unborn child’. The international treaties and conventions, however, grant this right only to ‘natural persons’; human beings are recognized as such from the moment they are born alive (and not before that) until they are dead. Thus the law views nor an embryo, nor a fetus, nor a baby not yet born, as a ‘person’. Fetuses do not have what living persons have got: an internationally guaranteed right to life.
Despite the right to life and as a consequence of unwanted human fertility, millions and millions of persons die because of lack of food or proper care. On earth, each DAY 25.000 people die of hunger and misery, of ...

właśnie dowiedziałam się, że jestem w ciąży, to 4 tydzień. Chciałam dowiedzieć się czegoś na temat przesyłki. Piszecie, że dostałyście ją w ciągu 5 nawet do 12 dni. Czy przychodzi ona pocztą, zwykłym listem? Czy któraś z Was nie otrzymała przesyłki lub miała jakieś problemy z otrzymaniem jej? Ja właściwie jestem już zdecydowana, podchodzę do tego na spokojnie. To jednak moje pieniądze, nie chcę zsotać z ręką w nocniku. Nie widzę żadnych nowych wpisów przez bieżący rok, martwię się czy organizacja dalej funkcjonuje.
