    SAVITA HALAPPANAVAR

    How an Indian woman made the Irish vote to legalise abortion
    Savita’s death had triggered a massive debate over the issue of life-saving abortions and resulted in a new law that allows abortions under extreme circumstances.
    Ahead of the publication of a key report on Indian dentist Savita Halappanavar's death after being denied an abortion in Ireland, her husband's attorney has accused the health chiefs of being "disrespectful" to the deceased and the family by not showing the final draft.
    The historic new bill, which will have to be passed, will allow for limited legal termination where there is a threat to the mother's life.
    Ann Maria Burke admitted she made the remark to dentist Savita in University Hospital Galway just days before she died after giving birth.
