Inquiry Set for Death in Catholic Ireland, after Abortion Was Denied [View all]
Many moderate conservatives allow abortion in some cases. For example, when it is "necessary to save the life of the mother." But many elements of the Catholic Church however, do not make even that exception; they say abortion is always wrong. So that? Now and then a pregnant mother dies. When her pregnancy endangers her life - but her Catholic doctors will not abort the baby.
This apparently recently happened to an Indian woman, in still very-Catholic Ireland.
Here's a link to the recent NY Times article:
