To think that all this was mostly motivated by a lie. She died as a result of mis-managed sepsis, an abortion wouldn't have saved her life.

They don’t care. The abortion-rights crowd have ZERO interest in “saving lives.”

Was she a patient of DHS?

Roe v Wade was a lie also, and made abortion legal throughout America.

And some say Satan does not use lies to further his agenda...

We covered this in FR when it happened, in 2012.

Savita Halappanavar (LINK)

And another Savita Halappanavar link

The government investigation report is available here:

Investigation report on death of Savita Halappanavar

Six years ago it was disclosed that her death was not because of denial of abortion (and she did not ask for abortion): it was due to a delay in the diagnosis of sepsis, and then mismanaged monitoring and treatment over a period of days until she succumbed to septic shock.

The investigators found fault on the doctors' part on the sepsis issue, but did not find any violation related to the pregnancy and miscarriage, i.e. prompt termination of the failing pregnancy would not have stopped or slowed the sepsis: it would have been irrelevant to her treatment.

A lie runs around the world while the truth is still tying its shoelaces, as Mark Twain said. And The lie lives on.

So she died because of the horrible disgusting socialized medicine the left just adores. So killing more babies us the answer.

Usually spontaneous ruptured membranes either reseal and the pregnancy continues, or they go into spontaneous labor. But few medical details were ever released.

Second trimester miscarriages are rare, and the docs here were slow in keeping an eye out for infection.

However, nobody is asking the question if she had an illegal abortion attempt at 17 weeks after her ultrasound at 16 weeks showed an unwanted girl. In India, such abortions are common.
