Quando la legge uccide: in memoria di Savita Halappavanar



Savita Halappavanar aveva 31 anni. E' morta ieri nell'ospedale universitario di Galway, nell'Irlanda occidentale. E' morta perché non le hanno prestato il dovuto soccorso. E' morta perché i medici hanno preferito sacrificare la sua vita e quella del feto che aveva in grembo piuttosto che praticarle l'aborto che l'avrebbe salvata. "Questo è un paese cattolico", le hanno detto prima che morisse.

Peccato che Savita non fosse né irlandese né cattolica.

L'aborto è illegale in Irlanda. Le giovani irlandesi (come potrebbe benissimo essere una delle mie studentesse) che non vogliono avere una gravidanza devono andare in Inghilterra o a Belfast, nell'Irlanda del nord, per abortire. Evidentemente qui il diritto alla vita vale solo per il feto, non per le donne, non per le madri.

"E' la legge", è stata la difesa del consulente medico. Bene. Allora la legge ammazza. La legge è assassina. La legge andrebbe chiusa in carcere, torturata, umiliata, giustiziata, come fanno con i criminali comuni. La legge ha ucciso Salita Halappavanar, una giovane indiana indù, la cui unica colpa è stata di avere complicazioni durante la gravidanza.

Solo due mesi fa un comitato di medici irlandesi ha detto che l'aborto non è necessario per salvare la vita di una donna, che la medicina garantisce una gravidanza sicura per le donne.
Come ha scritto giustamente Jill Filipovic su un articolo del Guardian, "sono sicura che Savita non sarebbe stata d'accordo". Ne sono convinto anche io.

When I initially commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each time a comment is
added I get three emails with the same comment.
Is there any way you can remove people from that service?

Bless you!
