           Thousands march in Dublin over abortion righ


 
 
This week-end, I read a lot of articles about demonstrations in solidarity with the family of a woman who died after being denied abortion in Ireland. Her death was extremely tragic and personally, I don’t understand how they could let a young woman go to save a baby who will die anyway.
Successive governments have avoided confronting its reality in Irish society, but newspapers said that more than 3,000 women a year leave Ireland to have an abortion, usually in England. After that, the pressure for something to be done about the legal morass around abortion is greater than it has ever been.
However, in this case, I think that the death of Savita is not a refutation of anti-abortion arguments, it's a refutation of medical malpractice.
