I have received questions from time to time from various groupings and individuals who have opinions on these issues. In the context of a pregnancy where it is identified that there is a foetal anomaly, which is not necessarily fatal, and a decision is taken to terminate the pregnancy but the woman's partner decides that there should not be a termination of the pregnancy, has there ever been an adjudication on these cases in the European or other international court?
