excuse the typo. Should be remove, not remover.

There was a referendum

Yes, it was Savita Halappanavar. What happened to her was horrific, so we fought hard to repeal our 8th constitution, so what happened to her, couldn't happen again!

Bravo Ireland!

As they should have!
Very sadly, the US is not responding so quickly & thoroughly to deaths of pregnant women here.

One of the most haunting stories I've ever heard. I can't imagine going home without your child or wife because someone's religion said no.

It really hit me too. It's sickening. I don't see how a doctor can just stand by and let a woman die of sepsis because of a dead fetus.

There was still a heartbeat but there was no changing the situation. The baby was going to pass away. Which is already fucking awful and then being told sorry but you gotta wait till it dies and THEN we'll save your wife.

Yup. They did. The biggest referendum Ireland ever had
