Savita protesters demand more abortion reforms

PROTESTERS have demanded abortion law reform on the tenth anniversary of the death of a woman refused a termination while miscarrying.

Indian dentist Savita Halappanavar, 31, died in a Galway hospital in 2012 and her passing was one of the catalysts for abortion reform in Ireland.
