This is horribly sad. Things like this give me violent thoughts.
But directed at whom?

as a human: I'm disgusted
as a Catholic: I'm ashamed

Horrific. This is where the religious right and the Republican party want to take America.
waiiiiiiiiit, this happened in Ireland? Why not blame the religious right for the deplorable way that women are treated in Muslim countries? Kill the ethnocentrism folks.
I think people expect that kind of thing in Muslim countries. Ireland is considered part of the western world, so it's a little surprising.
I assume she had more than just a little going on upstairs, seeing as how she was a dentist. Why didn't she go to another country?
Yeah it seems like she could have just traveled north to Northern Ireland and maybe got an abortion on the NHS?
Would that've worked?
I think by the time someone realises that they are miscarrying, it's probably too late for that.
And not only did the medievalists make it illegal to have an abortion in Ireland, they also made it illeagal to travel abroad to get one.
So, once she presented at a hospital in Ireland in her condition, she would have been prevented from leaving to seek treatment elsewhere.
