ADF International is a global alliance-building legal organization that advocates for religious freedom, life, and marriage and family before national and international institutions. As well as having ECOSOC consultative status with the United Nations (registered name “Alliance Defending Freedom”), ADF International has accreditation with the European Commission and Parliament, the Organization for Security and Co- operation in Europe, and the Organization of American States, and is a participant in the FRA Fundamental Rights Platform. 2. This report focuses on the right to life of the unborn, the right to education under international law, and Lithuania’s efforts in promoting and defending these rights. (a) Right to Life Background 3. Article 19 of the Constitution of Lithuania of 1992 protects the right to life, stating, “The right to life of individuals shall be protected by law.” In the body of the Constitution there is no clarification about when life begins. Article 18 of the Constitution states that “the rights and freedoms of individuals shall be innate”, that is, inherent, as opposed to acquired. Furthermore, Article 21 of the Constitution clearly states, “(1) The person shall be inviolable. (2) Human dignity shall be protected by law.” 4. The law regulating abortion in Lithuania derives from and is based on the law on abortion of the Soviet Union (USSR).

Overlap of premature birth and permissible abortion Journal of Medical Ethics 2009 June; 35(6): 343­347 Abstract: Abortion is permitted in many jurisdictions after the age at which an infant is viable on the basis of intensive neonatal care techniques. Does this cause special concerns for those involved in perinatal care and termination of pregnancy services or is the overlap mainly an abstract issue fretted over by ethicists and academics? In order to explore this question, a group of clinicians involved in this area of care were interviewed and their interviews analysed using qualitative measures. The clinicians concerned were exercised by the ethical issues and had various ways of resolving them which tended to reflect a gradualist, multifaceted and, to some extent, particularist approach to ethical decision­making in relation to the edges of human life. The ways in which those strands of ethical thought are instanced in the interview material are reported and discussed.

  • Family Planning and Reproductive Health in Central and Eastern Europe and the Newly Independent States
    Third edition 2000 (first edition1995, second edition 1997) From abortion to contraception Family Planning and Reproductive Health in Central and Eastern Europe and the Newly Independent States UNFPA Division for Arab States and Europe WHO Regional Office for Europe Women’s and Reproductive Health Programme Abstract The profound and rapid changes that have taken place in recent years in the countries of central and eastern Europe (CCEE) and the the newly independent states (NIS) has revealed a particularly disadvantaged group in these countries: women. The growing health problems and particularly the widening gap between women’s health in western and eastern Europe require the rethinking of social and health policies. With limited resources available, reproductive health services are increasingly being viewed as one appropriate mechanism for improving women’s health. Although most countries in the CEE and NIS report a growing interest in contraceptives, limited availability and cost remove them as viable options for many people. The level of reproductive health services to be provided should be determined on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the client and community needs and programme capabilities. As a minimum, reproductive health programmes should provide a broad range of family planning choices, STI prevention, safe abortion, safe perinatal, postnatal and antenatal care. This document is the third update of reproductive health data for the region since 1995. Targets for HEALTH21 Target 1: Solidarity for Health in the European
