When you bash President Obama and every pro-choice person for agreeing that late term abortions MUST remain legal to protect the life of the mother.
When you call YOUR PRESIDENT a MURDERER for signing the bill protecting women who have the terrible sadness of requesting a late term abortion,
Do you realize what the law banning every late term abortion would REALLY mean?
What do you think? Would YOU have let this woman DIE because of a law that YOU believe should be applied in the US?
How about the right of this woman to live?

The death of a pregnant woman after she was refused an abortion has sparked an outcry in the Irish Republic.
Savita Halappanavar died of septicaemia a week after complaining of back pain on 21 October at University Hospital, in Galway. At the hospital Mrs Halappanavar, 31, who was 17 weeks pregnant, was found to be miscarrying.
According to her husband, doctors refused to give her a medical termination over a three-day period before her death, because the foetal heartbeat was still present.
The Hindu couple were told: “This is a Catholic country.”
After the dead foetus was removed, Mrs Halappanavar was taken to intensive care, where she died on 28 October.
Two days later, an autopsy found she succumbed to septicaemia and E coli ESBL.
“Savita was really in agony. She was very upset, but she accepted she was losing the baby,” her husband, Praveen Halappanavar, 34, said.
“When the consultant came on the ward rounds on Monday morning, Savita asked if they could not save the baby, could they induce to end the pregnancy. The consultant said, ‘As long as there is a foetal heartbeat, we can’t do anything’.”
