If Ireland had abortion rights like Roe v. Wade

In the article above, a woman named Savita Halappanavar died last month after being denied an abortion. If Halappanavar would've been allowed the abortion, she would still be alive today. Author Latanya Mapp Frett reveals that almost 13% of women die because of maternal complications. Several countries, including Ireland do not allow women to get pregnancy and they are even considering not allowing abortions during the early stages of pregnancy. Hopefully, Ireland and other countries will look at this situation and think of the women they could be saving if they allowed abortions.
