Law on abortion rights in Ireland welcomed by family of Indian victim

Belgaum : The family of Savita Halappanavar, the Indian woman who died due to pregnancy complications in Ireland due to the country's strict abortion laws, has welcomed a new initiative of the Irish Parliament to allow limited abortion rights for the first time.

Savitas father A S Yalgi, said that he really welcomed the move. And, it was their demand that at least for life saving purposes, the life saving Abortion Bill was very essential.  He thanked them for  passing this bill.

Earlier the Irelands parliament voted to allow abortion under certain conditions for the first time, following months of polarising debate in the Catholic-dominant country, including letters to the Prime Minister written in blood.

Prime Minister Enda Kenny has provoked protest from both sides of the debate by pushing through a compromise that will allow abortion, but only when a womans life is in danger.
