Anti-abortion advocates lost case in ECHR

By 905 0

Two nurses, who approached the European Court of Human Rights against the discrimination they had undergone in Sweden for their refusal to carry out abortion, has not succeeded in winning their case in the top court based in the continent of Europe.

Ellinor Grimmark and Linda Steen, though are born in Sweden, are originally from the European country of Norway.

They applied for the post of midwife in Sweden. As the Swedish law requires midwives to carry out abortion, they were asked by their employer to do the service.

The nurses denied performing the service as they found that against their religious belief. Subsequently, they lost their jobs for that reason.

They approached several courts in Sweden before they has reached the ECHR.

Like every other court, the ECHR has also failed to understand the ground that they faced discrimination from their employer for their belief.

It is unclear what the next move of the duo will be. The possibility of the duo to approach the same court with the case is less, as that court is less likely to entertain the duo again in the future as there is no precedent exists like that so far.
