re: #65 William of Orange

By now some of you might know what a terrible story happened on the republic of Ireland. This country is still heavily influenced by the Catholic church. And as such it’s a country where abortion is illegal.
A 31-year old woman was seventeen weeks pregnant with her first child. A child which would have been welcome. However complications arose and it turned out the woman was having a miscarriage. An abortion was necessary but the doctors refused to do that procedure because there was still a heartbeat of the child. A week later the woman died in hospital.
She could have been saved… A high court decision was made in 1992 in which was said that in exactly these situation abortion should be allowed but today that ruling was still not applied in the law.

I hope Paul Ryan sleeps well tonight…

I cannot link to an article as I’m typing this text on my telephone. Can someone do me a favor and do that for me? There is an article on the news sit of the BBC.

Thank you.

Read about this earlier. Here’s the story from the BBC:
