Applicants aptly note that the criteria allowing eugenic abortion, that is \u201chigh probability\u201d or \u201csevere handicap\u201d are imprecise and must be interpreted in favor of the perpetrators (aborters). In practice, this largely limits the protection of lives of unborn children in Poland. Other participants in the proceedings, i.e. the Sejm and the Prosecutor General, in the letters sent to the Tribunal shared the applicant&#8217;s view that the challenged provisions are contrary to the Constitution. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin-right:0cm; margin-left:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size:11.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">In its opinion, Ordo Iuris first of all stresses that the Constitution of the Republic of Poland and numerous international agreements to which Poland is a party guarantee legal protection of life and do not introduce any exceptions, including due to age and health.<\/span><\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size:11.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\"> In particular, such a request comes from the 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child, which explicitly orders children to be protected by law, both before and after birth. Contrary to postulates and untrue information from pro-abortion movements, neither the Polish Constitution (and other legal provisions) nor international law guarantees the right to kill other people, including the right of the mother to kill her unborn children (called by these groups \u201cthe right to abortion\u201d or \u201creproductive rights\u201d). <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin-right:0cm; margin-left:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size:11.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">\u2018The 1997 Constitution and international conventions and pacts in the field of human rights do not limit the legal protection of life only to people born.<\/span><\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size:11.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\"> The protection of human life, both before and after birth, is the responsibility of public authorities. This is the basic standard of a democratic state ruled by law, as the Constitutional Tribunal noted in the ruling of 28 May 1997, considering abortion \u201cbecause of difficult living conditions or a difficult personal situation of a pregnant woman\u201d contrary to the Constitution,\u2019 explains Marcin Olsz\u00f3wka, PhD, expert of Ordo Iuris. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin-right:0cm; margin-left:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size:11.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Since 1997, the Constitutional Tribunal has repeatedly reiterated in statements of reasons of its rulings that the Constitution protects the life of every human being, regardless of<\/span><\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size:11.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\"> age and predictable life expectancy. As the Court observed in the judgment of 30 September 2008, the life of one person is a value higher than the health of other people. The resolution of the Constitutional Tribunal of 18 April 2018, in which it signaled to the Sejm irregularities in the act regulating the in vitro fertilization procedure, may be considered a summary of the previous case law regarding legal protection of human life, including at the earliest stage. The Tribunal noted that the principles of the Polish legal system include the \u201cembryo\u2019s right to life\u201d and \u201cprohibition of treating any embryo as an object\u201d. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin-right:0cm; margin-left:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size:11.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Since, therefore, a human being within the meaning of the provisions of the Constitution is any creature having a human genome, regardless of the stage of development, it is unacceptable to allow the killing of any human being, including because of age and health.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin-right:0cm; margin-left:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size:11.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">The Basic Law requires public authorities to protect and respect human dignity, which stands for<\/span><\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size:11.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\"> i.e. a ban on subjective treatment of a human person. Meanwhile, in the light of the challenged provisions, an unborn child suspected of having a serious illness or disability becomes a \u201csubstitutable good\u201d, \u201cceases\u201d to be someone, i.e. a person with natural human dignity, because it is treated as \u201csomething\u201d unsuccessful, what still can (needs to) be removed and \u201creplaced\u201d with a healthy child in the future. The essence of the challenged regulations is the admission to the killing of an unborn man (until reaching the ability to live independently outside the mother\u2019s body) in the case of whom there is a high probability \u2013 but always only probability \u2013 of a serious and irreversible impairment or fatal disease. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin-right:0cm; margin-left:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size:11.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">It also means that the legislator allowed for radically different shaping of the legal situation of unborn children due to their probably negative state of health.<\/span><\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size:11.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\"> The existence of such unfavorable regulations concerning a conceived child, which according to medical examinations is probably disabled or seriously ill, is a form of discrimination prohibited by the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin-right:0cm; margin-left:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size:11.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Olsz\u00f3wka draws the attention to one more important aspect of the case, proving fundamental incompatibility of the challenged provisions with the Constitution.<\/span><\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size:11.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\"> \u2018A law that allows abortion does not respect not only the dignity of children who are the main victims of abortion, but also does not respect the dignity of mothers, because it gives them the opportunity to freely and completely confidentially make a choice between killing a child and leaving him alive. A law that allows one to freely kill other people \u2013 even under certain conditions, like the challenged provisions \u2013 is a law that is vile and does not respect the inherent and inalienable dignity of a human being, which, as the Constitution provides, is a source of freedom and human rights.\u2019 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin-right:0cm; margin-left:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size:11.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Ordo Iuris in the opinion sent to the Constitutional Tribunal also points out that the term \u201cthe ability to live independently outside the mother&#8217;s body\u201d should not raise doubts because in the light of numerous legal studies and the position of the World Health Organization, a conceived child is able to live independently outside the mother\u2019s body when he is about 22 weeks old.<\/span><\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size:11.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\"> This means that if a child exceeds this age, even in the light of applicable law, eugenic abortions are unacceptable and punishable. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin-right:0cm; margin-left:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size:11.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">\u2018Any law permitting the killing of an unborn child will never be a just law.<\/span><\/span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size:11.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\"> Legalization of killing of conceived children who may be ill or disabled will under no circumstances be in accordance with authentic human rights. That is why we fully support the excellent document prepared by Ordo Juris, which shows that abortion of children with diagnosed disabilities is incompatible with the Polish Constitution and numerous principles of international law\u2019, commented Maria Madise, Director of the international organization Society for the Protection of Unborn Children.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin-right:0cm; margin-left:0cm\"><em><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size:11.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Amicus Curiae Brief <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size:11.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">supported:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin-right:0cm; margin-left:0cm\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"line-height:107%\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,sans-serif\">Society for the Protection of Unborn Children \u2013 Great Britain, Betlehem Pray and Pro-Life Society \u2013 Hungary, Human Life International \u2013 Hungary, Alpha Allliance for Life \u2013 Hungary, Saving Downs and Downpride \u2013 Canada, The American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family, and Property \u2013 USA, Stirezo \u2013 the Netherlands, Civitas Christiana \u2013 the Netherlands, 40 Days For Life \u2013 USA, European Family Science Society \u2013 Hungary, Vigilare Foundation \u2013 Croatia, Pro Life Campaign \u2013 Ireland, Family &amp; Life \u2013 Ireland, Terri Schiavo Life &amp; Hope Network \u2013 USA, Parliamentary Network for Critical Issues \u2013 USA, The American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists \u2013 USA, Civil Rights for the Unborn \u2013 USA, National Life Center, Inc. \u2013 USA, The Restoration Project (Catherine Davis) \u2013 USA, Issues4Life Foundation (Walter B.
