Abstract

Mason looks at the legal response to those aspects of the troubled pregnancy which require or involve medico-legal intervention. The unwanted pregnancy is considered particularly in the light of the Abortion Act 1967, s.1(1)(d) and the related action for so-called wrongful birth due to faulty ante-natal care. The unexpected or uncovenanted birth of a healthy child resulting from failed sterilisation is approached through an analysis of the seminal case of McFarlane and associated cases involving disability in either the neonate or the mother. The disabled neonate's right to sue for its diminished life is discussed and the legal approach to the management of severe congenital disease is analysed - thus following Baroness Hale in believing that care of the newborn is an integral part of pregnancy. Aspects are considered from historical and comparative perspectives, including coverage of experience in the USA, the Commonwealth and Europe.

Abstract

En droit français, le terme infanticide désigne le meurtre commis sur un enfant dans les trois jours suivant sa naissance, qui correspondent au délai légal de sa déclaration à l’état civil. C’est dire que ce crime est avant tout celui de l’illégitimité et qu’il frappe particulièrement les enfants dont la naissance doit demeurer clandestine. Entre 1824 et 1863, le législateur s’efforçant de l’adapter à l’état d’esprit des jurés qui répugnent à infliger la mort aux mères coupables, remanie par trois fois la pénalité de l’infanticide. Au cours de la même période, près de 600 affaires ont été portées devant les tribunaux bretons. La Bretagne, réputée pour sa ferveur religieuse et considérée par les ethnologues comme un véritable conservatoire des traditions, connaît un taux d’infanticide légèrement supérieur à la moyenne nationale. Doit-on y voir le signe de l’intolérance des populations rurales – qui fournissent l’essentiel des accusées – à l’égard des grossesses illégitimes ou bien, au contraire, un indice de l’affaiblissement des structures traditionnelles d’encadrement des conduites, autorisant une forme de vagabondage sexuel ? Les sources judiciaires permettent de reconstituer une grande partie des crimes. Elles éclairent la personnalité des femmes mises en accusation, leur vie quotidienne, leurs amours, le regard que portent sur elles les communautés villageoises. La pesanteur du contrôle exercé sur les femmes seules, la sévérité avec laquelle sont traitées les déviances, mettent en lumière la place qu’occupe la réputation dans le système de valeurs des ruraux et démontrent que l’infanticide est profondément arrimé à la problématique de l’honneur et de son envers, la honte.

Abstract

Op 3 april 1990 werd zwangerschapsafbreking uit het Strafwetboek gehaald. De nieuwe abortuswet heeft verregaande gevolgen voor het bio-etisch debat vandaag en is, aldus de mening van de auteurs in dit boek, geenszins waterdicht. 'Abortus na de wet' vlooit de wetteksten uit en benadert de diverse facesten van zwangerschapsafbreking: de vage grenzen tussen de strafbare en de toegelaten vruchtafdrijving, de ongelijke behandeling van de vader die geen inspraak krijgt, de problemen van de ouders met een minderjarige zwangere dochter.
