She was denied permission to abort.
Catholic country only allows abortion if pregnancy is ‘life-threatening’


This should be the first to change. Lunatics shouldn't be allowed to frame laws depending on their religious beliefs.
If it was somebody rich, I guess she would have just flown out of the country to take care of it.

Don't all women risk their lives when giving birth? Specially in those third world countries? I mean, their Maternal mortality ratio is 110 for every 100,000 live births. that's 5 times what it is in the US. Ether way, the best way to stop abortions are education, easily accessible birth control, proper sexual education courses, and proper healthcare for women. Banning it... well, we've seen how some black markets work. Abortion is no different. I'll see if I can find a really interesting documentary I once saw about clandestine abortions.
