Ireland: Indian women dies after being refused abortion - NewsX

Shocker for an Indian couple living in Ireland for last four years. 31-yr-old Savita Halappanavar dies in Ireland due to an archaic law. Savita was a dentist of Indian origin and was 17 weeks pregnant. Her husband rushed her to hospital as she was in acute pain and had miscarried baby.
