Abstract

The aim: The article analyzes the impact of abortion on human rights and women's health in the light of medical and technological advances of the digital age. Materials and methods: The methods of research were dialectic approach and general analysis of normative and scientific sources, analysis of the results of studies of women's mental health after abortions, analysis of judicial practice, especially decisions of the European Court of Human Rights, the results of author's own empirical studies, the formal legal method, the comparative legal method and the historical method. It has been established that there is no strong evidence that abortion negatively affects a woman's mental health, including no evidence that the emotional consequences aredeeply personal, or are rather the result of societal pressure. Arguments were refuted about extending the protection of human rights regarding abortion to unborn children and their fathers. Conclusions: The article emphasizes that the ethical burden on medical workers, especially in jurisdictions that require the approval of a doctor to legally terminate a pregnancy,increases significantly due to information flows and community expectations dictated by new medical advances.
