ROTC is "Reserve Officer Training Corps" - the fast track of bright students to military officers with the military picking up part of the tab for university - in America. (That's for the curious - where the autocorrect would have come up.)
Absolutely ghastly case from top to bottom. I can only hope that this will light a rocket under the arses of Irish citizens and their Government to ensure there is clear guidance on cases like this. Even better, a review of what is an archaic law. I'm wondering if there is something in the European Human Rights legislation that would apply here - for challenging the acceptability of the law on abortion in Ireland.
I hope the husband can sue for an eye watering sum of compensation from the Irish government and the licenses of those medical practitioners involved in her case, who failed to act in the interests of her welfare, be revoked.
Ireland, Poland and a number of European countries have the head in the sand approach to abortion, basically exporting it to be "dealt with" by other countries that do permit safe and legal abortion. I'm not a lawyer, but I'm thinking there surely has to be some grounds here under European legislation or through the European courts. The regressive and restrictive laws in some countries disproportionately disadvantage women in economic and health terms. Anyone who knows about these things able to offer a view? Thanks.
