British schoolgirl\'s mother sues over abortion

Her mother, Maureen Smith, said she was desperate to \'replace the child she lost\'. Smith has lodged a case in the European Court of Human Rights, claiming that her rights as a parent were breached and that the family\'s privacy was invaded by care staff who secretly guided her daughter through the abortion. A similar case was recently reported in Durban, SA, where the family of a schoolgirl is suing her school after it allegedly arranged for her to have a secret abortion. Full report by The Telegraph
