@ Lawrence - did you bother to even read the story? The fetus was already miscarried...there was no question of saving both.

@ Haunter - exactly...it IS proof of something - the ridiculous lengths to which anti-abortion idiots go to show their supposed value of life. And if valuing a woman's life over that of a fetus with zero chance of survival makes me a bigot, then I'm a bigot.

I really don't understand why a lot of people still make important decisions according to their religious belief... This is the 21st century already and Ireland is a developed country for god's sake...
What killed this woman was septicemia. That is what the article says. What is interesting about Sepsis, it is not something that is easy to detect and is very fatal.
"One of the main challenges of sepsis treatment is diagnosis: By the time doctors realize a patient is septic and start treatment, it can be too late. Earlier diagnosis and treatment could have a profound effect on survival rates, so many research efforts are aimed at finding ways to recognize the onset of the condition more quickly." http://www.nigms.nih.gov/Education/factsheet_sepsis.htm
So, lets say the child was aborted, then the hospital fails to diagnose the septicemia and the patient dies; then what?
I am surprised that you are trying to push your political views on a public forum using the death of someone, who dies of septicemia no less.
Terrible things happen. I still believe abortion is wrong. Just because that one thing happened doesn't mean its ok to kill a living person. That is murder. If you want murder go ahead.
