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."

"... I want to define life for you - not biological life, but spiritual life. So for all those intellectuals, just hold on, for many won't like this. Spiritual life, as measured by Spirit, is when a Human has free choice. When is that? It's when they take their first breath. Not in utero. There will be those who will say, "That's wrong, that's wrong. The soul in the woman's body is alive!" Just wait. I'm talking about spiritually. That which Spirit sees, and it's when you come from the other side of the veil and take your first breath.
A child with the mother has no free choice. That child is linked to the choice of the mother until it is born. It is, indeed, a soul in preparation for free choice, and there are many attributes that are spiritual that we have discussed before about how that soul reacts. But now I'm discussing life with polarity [duality], free choice.
But let's discuss that "child inside" for a moment, for there is a process I want you to know about. I want to talk about 240 days into the pregnancy. At about that time, the child has perfect DNA. It hasn't taken its first breath. The DNA hasn't measured the energy of the planet yet, since it is contained. Did you realize that? Inside the womb is a perfect child. The child's DNA has all the attributes of the Akash and also the parent, but it's different in a way you have not been told. The DNA is 100% as designed.
The quantum instructions within the DNA are all talking to the biology of the child,, getting ready for the first breath. ..."
