Sheila Hodgers
(????-1983)
About
Jump to
Sheila Hodgers (1956/57–19 March 1983) was an Irish housewife from Dundalk, County Louth, who died of multiple cancers two days after giving birth to her third child. It is alleged that she was denied treatments for her cancer while pregnant because the Catholic ethos of the hospital did not wish to harm the fetus. Her case was publicised in an article in The Irish Times the week before a September 1983 referendum which enshrined the right to life of the fetus in the Constitution of Ireland. The case has been recounted in subsequent pro-choice commentary on abortion in the Republic of Ireland.
