law & abortion

http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/...rotest-009.jpg Scandal in Ireland as woman dies in Galway 'after being denied abortion' Health authorities investigating septicaemia death of 31-year-old dentist Savita Halappanavar Health authorities in Ireland are investigating the death of a pregnant woman whose husband says she was denied an abortion following severe complications. Savita Halappanavar, who was 17 weeks pregnant, died of septicaemia a week after presenting with back pain on 21 October at University hospital in Galway, where she was found to be miscarrying. After the 31-year-old dentist was told that she was miscarrying, her husband reportedly said that she had asked for a medical termination a number of times over a three day period, during which she was in severe pain. But he said these requests were denied because a foetal heartbeat was still present and they were told at one point: "This is a Catholic country." Medical staff removed the dead foetus days later after the heartbeat stopped but Halappanavar died of septicaemia on 28 October. Ireland's health service executive, which runs the country's public health care system, has initiated an investigation into the incident, which is also being investigated by the hospital itself. Reports of the death sparked an outcry on Wednesday night in Ireland, where abortion is illegal unless the life of the woman is in danger. The Fine Gael/Labour government has struggled to respond to a 2010 ruling by the European court of human rights, which found it had failed to implement laws to enable women to have an abortion when their life is at risk during pregnancy. Rachel Donnelly, a spokeswoman for pro-choice campaigners in Galway said: "This was an obstetric emergency which should have been dealt with in a routine manner. Yet Irish doctors are restrained from making obvious medical decisions by a fear of potentially severe consequences. "As the European court ruled, as long as the 1861 Act remains in place, alongside a complete political unwillingness to touch the issue, pregnant women will continue to be unsafe in this country." |

We need a christian nation without all these whores getting their abortions. They will be in hell wishing they never got one, because down there you get reunited with the child you cast out and that baby is going to hate you forever while you burn in a lake of fire.

Reading the article I just wondered how anti-abortion activists would argue their way out of that one. I can't think of anything.

They need to make birth control pills for guys. It makes more sense to unload the gun, rather than shoot at a bulletproof vest.

You'd think if abortion was legal in Italy the pope could talk to Ireland about it

It's a bit annoying. Election is over, by now everyone knows your opinion on drones Starla.
Why drag it into this thread, there is no connection between those topics. And vixnix, I guess you were joking about getting the pope involved, since this is an Irish legal matter. |

We need to send someone over there to tell these people how to live their lives and what to believe.
