The quacks in Ireland are pre-programmed not to abort foetuses, no matter what. Proper tragedy this one.

What makes you think the doctors are "religious nutcases"? They are working in a country where it is a criminal offence for a medical practitioner to perform an abortion. The religious nutcases are the people who make the laws, or those they represent.

The doctors are still almost certainly guilty of malpractice, but every account I've seen of the case suggests their inaction was entirely on legal grounds.

"Their inaction was due to their belief that to perform a termination would render them liable to legal action up to and including criminal prosecution." Better?

My point is, by not doing anything they may equally have broken the law.

If only I'd thought of that; I could have said something like "The doctors are still almost certainly guilty of malpractice" - oh hang on, I did.

She died because god had decided.
