On what basis can you read anything else into this andy, I'm not really with you in regards to your opinion that the headline doesn't say it all. I am a Catholic by birth, and make no mistake the pious self righteousness of those of religion in authority knows no bounds, and I'm fairly happy with the facts that I have read that point towards this being a religious slant put onto a an ambiguous law, interpreted in the worst possible way, and I'll say it probably also because the lady in question was not a native of Ireland originally.
I haven't seen anything to contradict that version of events and the girl died of septacaemia 4 DAYS after her child died. Now you don't have to be a medical genius to frankly have seen that coming ( anyone who has ever kept animals will tell you exactly what will happen if a foetus dies inside it's mother and is not adequately dealt with) so tell me how this happened in this day and age if religion was not a fundamental and underlying factor, and please link me where this has not been said to be the case?

Reading around this subject, I read the following article - about a procedure known as symphysiotomy - an extremely painful procedure offered to many women in Ireland.

It is a further indictment of a health system unduly influenced by religion...
