What Stone Did These Poison Pen Scribblers Crawl Out From Under?

[sandyRoe]

The widower of a young woman who died following botched medical 'treatment' from an Irish hospital still burdened with a Catholic ethos has been receiving poison pens letters. They're adding insult to injury, but what sort of people would sit down and write such letters?

It's just what you need when you lose someone you love. Lots of abuse. Nice!

[ummmm]

Trolls without the use of the internet!!

What could they possibly accomplish with such letters? I am stunned and that is not easy to do

[Sharingan]

Ghastly racists hiding behind a mantle of ghastly religious fanaticism I imagine. I hope they burn in the hell they imagine exists for their cruelty to someone who has clearly suffered enough already.

"what sort of people would sit down and write such letters"

Your local TDs probably. The recent debacle over the abortion law has done nothing to assuage their desire for such suffering. Doctors were pretty powerless and could have served 14 years in prison if the full Irish Abortion law is weighted against them.

We dont know all the facts as usual Sandy

Septic abortion if that is what is was- is never seen in the country nowadays.
Mr H I would have thought had a point - intervention to save the mothers life would be lawful

the current law is still the (British) Offences against the person Act 1861
altho R v Bourne 1939 is an nglish case on this, it cd be a precedent or advisory...

I thought intervention was lawful. Poor Mrs H

Actually I am not ure there is anyone in Cork who would be prepared to do an abortion.

poor Mrs H
