"Suicidal Woman" refused abortion gives birth by caesarean in Ireland- TW for suicidal thoughts
A "suicidal" woman has given birth by caesarean section in the Republic of Ireland after requesting a termination under the country's new abortion law.
It is understood she requested an abortion late in her second trimester.
An expert panel assessed her as having suicidal thoughts but it was decided she should have a caesarean section.
She began a hunger strike and health authorities went to court to force her to end the fast. She later agreed to a caesarean and gave birth to a child.
The baby was born at about 25 weeks and has survived. It is understood the child will be taken into the care of the state.
