Irish court allows abortion row pregnant brain-dead woman to die

Pro-Choice supporters demonstrate outside the Irish Parliament building in Dublin on July 10, 2013 Ireland's high court ruled doctors can withdraw life support for a clinically dead pregnant woman on Friday, in the latest case to trigger heated debate on the country's stringent abortion laws. Despite requests from the woman's family for her to be allowed to die, doctors continued life support as the Irish constitution says a woman and her unborn child have an equal right to life. The woman was 14 weeks pregnant when she was declared clinically dead on December 3 after suffering a brain injury.
