To the Editor:
With her usual indifference to the facts, Margery Eagan parrots the party line of pro-abortion activists and claims that Savita Halapanavar, the Indian immigrant to Ireland, died in an Irish hospital because she was denied an abortion, (O’Malley goes one step too far, 5/14/2013).
The coroner’s inquest found the cause of her death to be “medical misadventure”—an aggregation of mistakes and misdiagnoses—and made nine recommendations, only one of which suggested clarifying existing abortion legislation. Under current Irish law, steps can be taken to save the life of the mother, even if it leads, indirectly, to the death of the unborn child.
Sincerely,
C. J. Doyle
