Irish politicians must rule on abortion law decisions despite Catholic Church objections

WRONG, Nicolletta! Here in Ireland there have always been more women than men in the anti-abortion campaign but there are many more men than women in the pro-abortion camp! And I don't think we irish can be blamed because we do not want to have to change our country's abortion laws to suit immigrants. The Savita death was sad, but she and her husband were wealthy enough to fly to the UK, say Liverpool nearby, for an abortion, they could surely have afforded the fair and the national Health both in the UK and ireland is free.

In addition to women fron the Irish state who cross the sea to G.B. for abortions, some females from north of the Border also take the same route to kill their unborn babies. Understantably there were extenuating circumstances in which the court in Dublin allowed the abortion. (The Anne Lovett case lso comes to mind). But that does NOT mean that the Dáil should pass laws that make abortion-on-demand available to every pregant woman in the state. In the late '70s I took college courses, including biology, under the G.I. Bill. The biology book stated : "Life begins at the monent of conception", and I got an "A" in the course. Should that grade now be reduced to a "B" or a "C"?

Notice the many men in the pro-abort picture above. Previous demos show an overwhelming majority of women. Speaks volumes doesn't it?

Savita's body was battling sepsis, but doctors would not abort the fetus until its heart stopped beating. This delay was so strange that I can only imagine it deriving from superstition! I've no medical degree, but in my college physiology course, I was required to remove the heart from a laboratory frog. I recall how amazed we students were as that heart, lying isolated in saline solution, continued to beat on and on. The heart is a mechanical pump that may continue working even after the body it belonged to is dead. A friend was driving when a bird flew into his side-view mirror and shredded itself, leaving only its heart intact and caught on the mirror arm. "Macabre" he called the incident as he drove all the way home with that bright red bird heart still beating away inches from his eyes. A pregnant woman slips into a coma and dies while doctors listen to the heartbeat of her fetus, which they know they cannot save, while they neglect to save the life they can save. Macabre!
