Praveen Halappanavar, who did not respond to the request for comment, told the Guardian newspaperin 2013that his wife's cause of death hearing "proved" his version of the event. .. "The doctor told him that abortion couldn't be done because it's a Catholic country," he told the inquest.
After the report was published, University Hospital Galway apologized to the Harapanavar family in a statement stating "clearly" that "the standard of care provided had failed."
"We can reassure everyone who is concerned that they have already implemented the changes to avoid repeating such events."
Threat to mother's life
In some US states, "Trigger Act" prohibits abortion Enacted —Provides some exceptions, such as in the case of rape and incest, and currently allows abortion if the mother's life is at serious risk. — Manyexperts question how easy it is to get such an exception. In addition, asking doctors to interpret complex laws during emergency care can lead to dangerous decisions, they said.
2012 Irish law allowed abortion to prevent "potential serious danger or threat to the life of the mother". However, according to Harapanavar's report, doctors have determined that the abortion has not reached the point "allowed by Irish law."
This is not a theoretical scenario in the United States, says Dr. Jenganta, a California-based OB-GYN and author of "The Vagina Bible."
"I personally had a situation where abortion was illegal in our medical center and some patients needed it," she said in an interview. I refused to share the above. Details of the case, except for the fact that the abortion was Kansas, which was legal for up to 22 weeks with some restrictions.

A lawyer at a Kansas medical center told Gunter that she couldn't have an abortion unless she was exposed to "imminent risk."
"I was like,'What does that mean?' And their interpretation was that she would die in the next three minutes, "she said. According to Gunter, a hospital lawyer called a state politician involved in the legislation and said, "Doctor, do what you think is best."
"So I wondered,'Then why do we have this law?'" She said.
An ectopic pregnancy (a fertilized egg is transplanted and grown extrauterinely, often into the oviduct, and can endanger the life of the mother) causes further confusion and It can cause delays in treatment. A new law, she said.
Gunter spares no hesitation in predicting what the stricter abortion law in the United States means. When it happens here, it will never change the situation in the United States, and it will happen.
Irish Labor Party leader and longtime advocate of abortion rights, Congressman Ivanabasik, led a protest against the Supreme Court's decision outside the US Embassy in Dublin on Monday. Did. ..
"Our experience here is that banning abortion and criminalizing endanger the lives of women, which is now a terrifying reality for American women." Is very obvious, "she said.
"Removing the right to abortion from women and girls puts life at risk. In reality, there are life-threatening and health-threatening conditions during pregnancy. "Well."
Bacik said the story of Harapanabar helped change public opinion towards a "yes" vote in 2018. She is similar to the Irishbrain-dead womanwith a life support system. She was 18 weeks pregnant, so after a lengthy court battle, she was turned off only more than three weeks after she was declared clinically dead in 2014.

A member of the Laois-Offaly in Midland, Ireland. Carol Nolan, a leading independent legislator, opposes the 2018 revision of the law, claiming that the death of Harapanavar has been misrepresented "intentionally and continuously" by women's rights activists.
"At that time, the overwhelming contributors to Sabita's death were medical malpractice and mismanagement of puerperal fever," she said in an email, pre-2018 law (as the eighth amendment). Known) is not a barrier to Harapanavar receiving proportional and effective care.
"Following the abolition of constitutional amendments, the number of abortions has exploded and relentless political and non-governmental pressure to further expand the parameters of the law since 2018. Was seen to apply, "Nolan said.
According to the latest figures available from the Government of Ireland, there were 32 abortions in Ireland in 2018, exceeding 6,000 over the next two years.
"This was completely predictable," Nolan added. "But it only helped to establish my own view that the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution acted as a sign of proportionality and sound law based on the true vision of human rights."
In the debate, the sometimes deadly crossroads of law and medicine have also engrossed those who support the right to abortion.
Dublin legislator Bacik quoted the case of Andrea Prudente. It was aAmerican woman who refused an abortion after a massive bleeding in Malta on June 12she was airlifted to Spain, where she was treated, Her fetus was aborted.
Multiple cases of women who died after being denied an abortion appeared fromPoland, abortion is almost completely banned.
