Slate has a
piece on how international law is being used to secure abortion rights, at least, when things like the life and health of the women are at stake. From a stray remark from "Mourad" over at
Balkinization, you know when they deigned to have them regularly, I found out about an Americas human rights treaty with interesting implications
here. And, an
interesting perspective on mental health exceptions. [good blog, but
this has a point]
