European Court of Human Rights and Ireland

Currently abortion is only available in Ireland if the pregnancy threatens the life of the woman.A strict law, which I think was passed by Irish politicians not only to "please" the Catholic Church but to stand against the wave of demographic decline that threatens our culture all across Europe. I think a country has the right to take such measures in order to preserve their own cultural and social integrity. It is part of their domestic affairs and no other country has the right to make them think differently (unless they want to pick a fight and invade that country). What does the European Council of Human Rights stand for? Who has human rights? In certain countries even dogs and pigs have more rights than a baby. What's more I can imagine that there are laws which protect certain plants but there are no laws for protecting the unborn. Why is it always women's rights when it comes to abortion? What about the father's rights and most importantly the child's rights? This seems twisted.
Concerning the faith of the Irish, I think it poses a dilemma for them to enforce a liberal abortion law on them. If they had a permissive abortion law, they could not call themselves a Catholic country anymore. Where is religious tolerance in this case?
"When two Irish women and one Lithuanian woman who were forced to travel to Britain for abortions they took the action against the Irish state five years ago.
The three women, who were supported by the Irish Family Planning Association, claimed the inability to have an abortion in Ireland breached their rights under the European Convention on Human Rights, which Ireland originally signed up to in the 1960's.
The three women claimed that the limited abortion law in Ireland means they are being discriminated against, and that the state contravenes their rights under the convention."
One of these ladies is from Lithuania. I think, as an immigrant one is supposed to subject themselves to the laws of the chosen country. Nobody would dare to take action against Saudi Arabian laws for example if they didn't want to be kicked out of the country (in the best case scenario). 
Ireland has to stand firmly against these attacks and set a good example for the rest of the world.
