New York protest planned over pregnant Indian woman’s death in Irish hospital

The reason this has become a controversy is because Savita died unnecessary when the means to save her life was available,but for the fact that Irish governments refused to legislate on the Supreme court ruling on the x case 20 years previous, which states that if the life of the mother is in danger the option to abort can legally be taken,the problem with this is the people rejected abortion by referendum,and until the government signs off on the court judgement,it will remain in limbo.

this is BULL CRAP....this young woman DIED, because of irelands CATHOLIC views on life...the mother possible COULD have been SAVED, had the aborted the fectus, as she BEGGED the medical staff to DO...GET A MOVE ON....BECAUSE MORE PEOPLE DIE, OVER CATHOLIC BELIEFS....AND THAT'S JUST WRONG, IMO. ALISA

The only facts known to the public are that this woman died has a result of an infection during a miscarriage. There are no laws or medical ethic guidelines prohibiting the removal of the child if that is what is needed to save the mother's life. Catholic teachings also allows for treatment, not that the Church's view would have trumped state law. The only reason this has become the controversy it has is down to anti-Catholic bigotry in Ireland and around the world.

knowing that abortion became legal in this country because of a lie, we need to be very careful not to rush to legelize it in Ireland. Women still die today in childbirth even here in the US.

The Doctor was working within the laws of Ireland, nobody outside the country has the right to ask for change, anyone who isnt happy with the laws there, can book a trip somewhere else, where abortion is no problem!!

The doctor who let her die needs to be investigated.He allowed her to develope septicemia which is what killed her.No antibiotics???

What do you mean when you refer to..."a non viable fetus"

Well ladies of NYC, time to stop ypur fury at gender problems and pressure Obama's administration to stop ignoring SAS patrols and missions into the Free State and the North of Ireland. The SAS is very astute at murder. They don't need an operating room. They just grab an Irish Republican, push him on to his knees, and shoot him in the back of the neck. Is Obama treating the SAS like a drunken friend? Since the SAS is part of England the USA must ignore its travesties to keep relations with England hunky-dorry! GOD BLESS ROBERT EMMETT!

So sad about this poor lady dying for lack of Dr. with sense of right and wrong. Im sure they knew her blood was being affected. It would not have been considered abortion, more like excising a tumor.Dr need to have a brain/

I'm a Columbia graduate, and thus have many pleasant memories of the ladies of Barnard College. They have many talents and much expertise, but one thing I never thought they knew much about was Ireland.

Way to go New York. I will be there in spirit. News of reaction by the other Irish political parties (North and South) has been a little sparse. Have they had no comment?

This tragic but avoidable incident should be the last nail in the coffin of the anti abortionists and religious fanatics. Get the hell out of my country!

The taking of a life this way is totally opposite the goals of medical care?....dumb as dumb as can be or crime

Mr. Kenney does not wish to be "rushed into a decision" No, He has to wait for his handlers to tell him what to do.
