On appeal, Supreme Court found that as the boy had shown a risk of suicide, to safeguard the equal right to life of the father in Article 40.3.3º, abortion was permissible in this instance.
In appello, la Corte Suprema decretò che, date le tendenze suicide del ragazzo e per salvaguardare gli uguali diritti alla vita del padre secondo l'articolo 40.3.3°, l'aborto in questo caso era consentito.
