Same thing nearly happened to my mother-in-law at a local Catholic hospital.
Apparently, they were willing to let a mother with two living children die for the sake of a fetus that had no chance to live at all.

You know, because of family values and the sanctity of life.
Whatever.

My sister had an ectopic pregnancy removed at a Catholic hospital. No hesitation, from what I heard.

I can’t help but wonder if the fact that Savita Halappanavar wasn’t Irish and didn’t look Irish had an impact on her treatment.
