Luck of The Irish My Ass

Fuck.

After appealing to the high court, it looks like the young woman in Ireland who was being withheld from leaving the country to seek an abortion in the UK is not being granted permission to leave.

While the Health Service Executives (who were originally prohibiting her from leaving) agreed on Friday to allow her to travel to the UK for the abortion as long as the judge ruled it was appropriate and under other conditions, the judge stated that granting the order would amount to a failure to protect the rights of the fetus and hence would be unlawful and "improper."

Now the HSE is trying to fix their fuck-up by bringing a judicial action review, saying that the judge misconstrued the law and that the woman should be allowed to travel.
