“Either way she had an illegal abortion and it killed her.”
No, medical incompetence is what killed her:
“When, on Oct. 23, Halappanavar and her husband, Praveen, asked about medically inducing the miscarriage instead of delaying the inevitable, a doctor told them: “Under Irish law, if there’s no evidence of risk to the life of the mother, our hands are tied so long as there’s a fetal heart[beat],” the official report said.”
Yet she was told this AFTER the water had broke and she was in “unbearable” pain, so there clearly was some risk to her life, the doctors just didn’t make the correct decision.
Yep, this is a quack doctor story much moreso than an abortion story.
Free healthcare, worth what you pay for it.
