A 17-year-old girl who is four months pregnant and whose child cannot survive outside the womb has gone to the High Court to challenge a decision by the Health Service Executive to stop her leaving the State for an abortion. The girl is in the care of the HSE and is challenging its decision to contact gardaí and not to let her travel for the abortion unless she presented as a suicide risk. The girl, known only as Miss D, is from the Leinster area. She found out a week ago that her baby has a condition called anencephaly, which means the baby's brain is not developing properly. The condition means the child will live a very short time, if at all, after it is born. After hearing this news, the girl made a decision to travel to the UK for a termination but the HSE asked gardaí not to permit her to leave the jurisdiction. (RTÉ)

I rather imagine there will be political pressure to sort this out as quickly as possible, but if the HSE fear falling foul of the ban on abortion in some way that might not help. This isn't the discussion the governing political parties will want coming into the election.
Which, if any, of the Irish political parties supports modifying and/or rescinding the ban? Is the issue even on the table?
but the HSE asked gardaí not to permit her to leave the jurisdiction.
I love the smell of family values in the morning. Bush is a symptom, not the disease.
The girl wants the court to allow her bring a legal action to prevent the HSE restraining her leaving the country for an abortion unless she presented as a suicide risk. Miss D says she was told by the HSE that it had contacted the gardaí to request that she not be permitted to leave the State and she wants the court to direct the HSE to advise the gardaí that it agrees to her travelling to the UK.

All hail Europe's Christian roots!
And this is nothing compared with what goes on in Malta. Bush is a symptom, not the disease.
The reverse-delete algorithm in graph theory used to obtain a minimum spanning tree from a given connected, edge-weighed graph. If the graph is disconnected, this algorithm will find a minimum spanning tree for each disconnected part of the graph. The set of these minimum spanning trees is called a minimum spanning forest, which consists of every vertex in the graph.

Mead also had an exceptionally close relationship with Ruth Benedict. Mead's daughter Catherine, in her memoir of her parents 'With a Daughter's Eye', implies that the relationship between Benedict and Mead may have contained an erotic element (see also Lapsley 1999). While Margaret Mead never identified herself as lesbian, the details of her relationship with Benedict have led others to identify her thus; in her writings she proposed that it is to be expected that individuals' sexual orientation may change throughout their lives.
Absurdity is a refusal to accept logic. But it has a very strict rhetorical purpose: to cause the brain of the recipient to jump out of the stuck groove that they are in, in the hope of reframing the argument in favour of the sender. You can't be me, I'm taken
And this is nothing compared to what goes on in Malta. A doo run-run-run, a doo run-run
BTW Do you know how to make A Maltese Cross? You can't be me, I'm taken
