Savita Halappanavar (née Savita Andanappa Yalagi; 9 September 1981 – 28 October 2012) was an Indian woman, living in Ireland, whose death led to the passing of the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Act 2013. Medical staff at University Hospital Galway denied her request for an abortion following an incomplete miscarriage on the grounds that granting her request would be illegal under Irish law, ultimately resulting in her death from septic miscarriage. Her death served as a rallying cry for efforts to repeal the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution of Ireland, which prohibited abortion in most instances.
