Discrimination in Abortion Law and the Message the Law is Sending: R (Crowter) v Secretary of State for Health and Social Care
The Modern Law Review ( IF 1.540 ) Pub Date : 2023-08-18 , DOI: 10.1111/1468-2230.12831

R (Crowter) v Secretary of State for Health and Social Care involved a legal challenge to the law on abortion under the Abortion Act 1967, on the basis that the disability ground ‘expresses’ a negative message about disabled people, based on negative stereotyping, and that this expression is incompatible with Articles 8 and 14 of the European Convention on Human Rights. The case is significant because of the way that rights-based arguments about abortion were framed; they were not centred on the interests or rights of the pregnant woman or the fetus, but on the rights of disabled people. This framing reflects the well-known expressivist argument in the disability and bioethics literature. The arguments raised about a potential violation of rights due to ‘the message’ the law is sending could have far-reaching implications, well beyond the law on abortion.

堕胎法中的歧视以及该法律传达的信息:R(克劳特)诉卫生和社会保健大臣

R(克劳特)卫生和社会关怀大臣涉及对《1967 年堕胎法》下的堕胎法提出法律质疑,理由是残疾理由基于负面成见“表达”了关于残疾人的负面信息,并且这种表达与《1967 年堕胎法》第 8 条和第 14 条不相容。欧洲人权公约。该案意义重大,因为关于堕胎的基于权利的论点的框架方式。它们不是以孕妇或胎儿的利益或权利为中心,而是以残疾人的权利为中心。这一框架反映了残疾和生物伦理学文献中众所周知的表现主义论点。有关法律所传达的“信息”可能侵犯权利的争论可能会产生深远的影响,远远超出了堕胎法的范围。
