the

as

confine
itself

without

examining

It
is
not
for
the
Court
to
review
the
necessity
of
the
absolute
ban
that
was
found
constitutional
by
the
Italian
legislature
,
comparing
the
rights
that
are
protected
by
the
Convention
,
as
long
as
this
measure
is
not
arbitrary
and
the
balancing
reasonably
takes
into
consideration
all
the
rights
in
question
.
It
is
true
that
there
is
no
study
on
record
before
us
to
show
that
the
guarantee
of
anonymity
has
indeed
reduced
the
number
of
abortions
;
nor
do
we
have
data
on
the
sense
of
relief
the
guarantee
of
anonymity
gives
to
mothers
.
But
the
measure
is
certainly
not
capricious
,
and
many
women
do
actually
rely
on
the
guarantees
of
the
system
.
If
the
present
case
were
about
the
genetic
markers
of
the
applicant
which
she
needed
to
know
for
reasons
of
health
,
the
case
might
have
ended
differently
for
me
,
but
the
case
is
about
the
interest
of
a
lady
of
respectable
age
whose
personal
development
does
not
require
specific
knowledge
.
The
Italian
Constitutional
Court
took
into
consideration
all
the
relevant
aspects
of
the
situation
and
there
is
nothing
specific
in
the
case
that
would
necessitate
a
departure
from
its
findings
.
