Americans aid Irish lawyers in abortion case
Article Abstract:
Georgetown University law professor David Cole will represent two Dublin, Ireland clinics in a European Court of Human Rights case challenging Ireland's restriction on abortion counseling. Cole will argue on Mar 24, 1992 that the prohibition on discussion of available abortions in England is a violation of free speech under the European Convention on Human Rights. Cole's Irish colleagues will argue the rule invades privacy and is vague. Ireland has agreed to abide by decisions of the Court, but the Court has no power to compel it to do so.
