Savita died of sepsis. Using her death as a pro-abortion argument is disgraceful

Bríd Smith, TD, says we need “to get religion out of our hospitals” or “we are looking at another Savita case in the future” (Irish Examiner, Letters, May 5). 

Three independent reports show that Savita Halappanavar died of sepsis, caused by medical mismanagement. Religion played no role.

If we are to avoid future, similar deaths, the changes to our healthcare system called for in those reports need to be implemented.
