A Polish
teenager who became pregnant after rape should have had unhindered access to an
abortion, the European Court of Human Rights has ruled.
The girl,
who was then 14, was forced to have a clandestine abortion after harassment
from pro-life groups led to her being turned away from hospitals.
The court
ordered the Polish state to pay the teenager and her mother 61,000 euros
(£49,000) in compensation.
Poland's
abortion law is among the strictest in Europe.
Terminations
are only permitted in cases of rape, incest or when the life of the mother or
foetus is in danger.
'Manipulated
and helpless'
The unnamed
teenager at the centre of this court case became pregnant in 2008 after she was
raped at the age of 14.
In
accordance with the law, she got a certificate from the public prosecutor
confirming that her pregnancy was as a result of unlawful sexual intercourse.
The girl,
named only as "P" went to two different hospitals with her mother in
her hometown of Lublin in south-east Poland to try and obtain an abortion.

The girl
then travelled to a hospital in Warsaw, but doctors there said they were under
pressure not to go ahead with the procedure.
The court
documents say the pair left the hospital "feeling manipulated and
helpless", after which they were harassed by pro-life groups and eventually
taken in for several hours of police questioning.
The
authorities then accused the mother of trying to force her daughter into having
an abortion and had "P" placed in a juvenile shelter.
She
eventually managed to go ahead with the termination in Gdansk, 500km from her
home, after the Ministry of Health intervened in the case.
In their
ruling, which is subject to appeal, a panel of judges at the European Court of
Human Rights found that there had been numerous breaches of the girl's rights.
The court
found that she should gave had unhindered access to lawful abortion and that
the details of her case should not have been made public by hospital
authorities.
The BBC's
Adam Easton in Warsaw says that Poland's abortion law is unlikely to become more
liberal soon.
Poland's
Catholic church is fiercely opposed to any attempts to ease the restrictions
and a majority of mainstream politicians support the status quo.
"... I want to define life for you - not biological life, but spiritual life. So for all those intellectuals, just hold on, for many won't like this. Spiritual life, as measured by Spirit, is when a Human has free choice. When is that? It's when they take their first breath. Not in utero. There will be those who will say, "That's wrong, that's wrong. The soul in the woman's body is alive!" Just wait. I'm talking about spiritually. That which Spirit sees, and it's when you come from the other side of the veil and take your first breath.

A child with the mother has no free choice. That child is linked to the choice of the mother until it is born. It is, indeed, a soul in preparation for free choice, and there are many attributes that are spiritual that we have discussed before about how that soul reacts. But now I'm discussing life with polarity [duality], free choice.
But let's discuss that "child inside" for a moment, for there is a process I want you to know about. I want to talk about 240 days into the pregnancy. At about that time, the child has perfect DNA. It hasn't taken its first breath. The DNA hasn't measured the energy of the planet yet, since it is contained. Did you realize that? Inside the womb is a perfect child. The child's DNA has all the attributes of the Akash and also the parent, but it's different in a way you have not been told. The DNA is 100% as designed.
The quantum instructions within the DNA are all talking to the biology of the child,, getting ready for the first breath. ..."
