A woman who was suffering a miscarriage died after developing blood poisoning when doctors at an Irish hospital refused to perform an abortion. Savita Halappanavar, 31, was admitted to Galway University Hospital suffering with agonising back pain. Medics realised she was miscarrying but repeatedly denied her requests for a medical termination because the foetus' heartbeat was present. Her husband Praveen Halappanavar, 34, claims he and his wife - who had been 17 weeks pregnant - were told by staff at the hospital: 'This is a Catholic country'.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
