[quote=Anonymous]This Texas woman's story in People magazine is very similar to the story of Savita Halappanavar, the Irish woman whose death from sepsis resulting an incomplete miscarriage helped lead to the legalization of abortion in Ireland. Except she fortunately survived.

Her water broke at 18 weeks and it was inevitable that her fetus could not survive. But, because doctors could still detect a heartbeat, they couldn't do anything to help her until she got close enough to death for the hospital's "ethics board" to decide an abortion was necessary to save her life. She survived, but other women will end up dying because of these ridiculous laws.

[quote]She was having trouble walking on her own at the hospital and "was not really coherent," Josh recalls. "She didn't really understand what was going on." After the delivery she was sent straight to the ICU. "That was the scariest thing I've ever gone through in my life — seeing Amanda on what could have been her deathbed."

Although Amanda didn't realize how ill she was a the time — friends and family were rushing to her bedside, fearing she would die — she has since been processing what happened to her.

"It took three days at home until I became sick 'enough' that the ethics board at our hospital agreed we could begin medical treatment; three days until my life was considered at risk 'enough' for the inevitable premature delivery of my daughter to be performed; three days until the doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals were allowed to do their jobs"[/quote]
