New Delhi [India], May 26 (NT): Thousands of people in Ireland are enjoying after the country voted tremendously to change the constitution so that abortion can be legally recognized.

As per the report of ANI, According to exit polls, 69 percent of voters voted to revoke the 35-year-old 8th amendment to Ireland's constitution, which had put in place some of the most restraining abortion laws in the world. This could be a striking win for the Yes side after a long and regularly conflict-ridden but social campaign.

This  historic moment for a country which is long viewed as deeply religious and traditional laws, brought about by the ill-timed and tragic death of a spirited young Indian woman from Karnataka after she was shorn of an abortion six years ago caused extensive indignation across Ireland and revolt at what many saw as the country's outmoded abortion laws.

In 2012, The 31-year-old Savita Halappanavar was living the dream.

 It is noted that she was a successful dentist who lived with her husband Praveen in Galway, on the west coast of the Republic of Ireland - one of the most fascinating parts of the world.

In October 2012, the four-month pregnant Kavita was taken to the University Hospital in Galway with the complaint of back pain.

She was discharged and readmitted the same day when doctors determined that she was miscarrying.

Savita asked for an abortion, realizing that her life was now in danger.

The doctors, who Savita's husband says were fearful of the consequences of granting his wife's wishes, repeatedly refused the termination.

At one point, her husband claims, doctors told him: "You can't have an abortion, this is a Catholic country", as his wife pleaded for a miscarrying.

A slight over a week shortly, Savita was dead from harsh sepsis. She had undergone a miscarriage four days after she had been taken to hospital.

Her panic death caused extensive revolt and Thousands of people took to the streets across the country including prompted representatives of the Catholic Church - which has long formed public policy and attitudes in Ireland - to openly assert that the church did not consider the right of an unborn child was more important than a woman's right to live.

A subsequent government inquiry exposed that the haziness which surrounds the 8th amendment to the constitution - which only permits for abortions in cases where the life of the mother is in intense risk - was”materially contributory factor" in Savita's demise.

Savita's beaming face has appeared extensively on posters and banners for the "yes" campaign which called for the revoking of the 8th amendment.

Her father Andanappa Yalagi released a video calling on voters to "remember Savita" when they voted.

And Ireland has today voted overwhelmingly for a radical and historical change, sparked by the martyrdom of a young Indian girl whose life was cruelly snatched away. (NT)
