De Turtle Bay and Beyond – International Law, Policy, and Institutions, por Stefano Gennarini, J.D.

After all, science should not be subservient to government policies or politics. Here is an excerpt from the AP story about the NY Judge  that ruled the sometime abortifacient morning after pill should be available over the counter to 15 […]

De Turtle Bay and Beyond – International Law, Policy, and Institutions, por Grégor Puppinck, Ph.D

French parents who wish to pass on certain values to their children will clash in the coming months over the Republic’s education system, which the current Government wishes to reform, particularly in relation to the complementary nature of men and women, of human sexuality and of morality.

Same-sex “marriage” in Ireland? | Turtle Bay and Beyond – International Law, Policy, and Institutions

De Turtle Bay and Beyond – International Law, Policy, and Institutions, por J.C. von Krempach, J.D.

The constitutional convention backs the extension of marriage rights to same-sex couples, the Irish Times reports. With this decision, Ireland seems set to join the fold of countries that want to destroy the institution of marriage by re-defining it beyond recognisability. But it could still be prevented, as a popular referendum will be needed. In […]

De Turtle Bay and Beyond – International Law, Policy, and Institutions, por Wendy Wright

Call it the new population control.

De Turtle Bay and Beyond – International Law, Policy, and Institutions, por J.C. von Krempach, J.D.

In Spain, the Constitutional Court has irremediably devalued the Constitution of which it was supposed to be the guardian by stating that the law that allows same-sex marriage was not unconstitutional. For a country that, due to the gross mismanagement of its political class (including, but not only, the radical left-wing and anti-humanist government led […]

De Turtle Bay and Beyond – International Law, Policy, and Institutions, por J.C. von Krempach, J.D.

While for many years the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) has simply failed to protect unborn children against being murdered (the lead case here is the ignominious Vo v. France decision of 2004, where the Court explicitly recognised that the embryo “belongs to the human race”, but at the same expressed doubts as to […]

De Turtle Bay and Beyond – International Law, Policy, and Institutions, por Wendy Wright

How would you explain the right to follow one’s conscience?
