You probably know that a Hindu woman died in Ireland because the
hospital wouldn't provide an abortion -- even though there was no chance
that her fetus could survive. They simply let her die along with the
unborn child. The case is now at trial.
DUBLIN (AP) — The husband of a woman who died after being denied an abortion in an Irish hospital accepted an apology Thursday from a midwife who, when explaining why the plea was rejected, said Ireland was "a Catholic country."

Halappanavar was 17 weeks pregnant when, hospitalized for pain, doctors informed her that the fetus would die. As her miscarriage pains worsened over the next three days, doctors refused her pleas for a termination because they could still detect a fetal heartbeat. By the time the fetus did die, Halappanavar was suffering from blood poisoning and died of organ failure 3 1/2 days later.

Catholicism killed this woman as surely as if the pope positioned her
head in a guillotine. Religions don't like women. They don't like them
at all.
