Supreme Court Ruling Expected On Appeal Of Constitutional Rights Of Unborn Child
A Supreme Court ruling is expected later on an application by the Pro Life Campaign to make submissions as part of an appeal concerning the constitutional rights of the unborn child.
The group says it has specific legal expertise that could assist the court's deliberations.
The State is opposing the application.
It says the group will be campaigning in the planned referendum and any application would have to be viewed with caution.
The application relates to an appeal of a High Court ruling that the unborn child has rights under the constitution in addition to those set out in the 8th Amendment.
