Emma Watson shared a very emotional and powerful open letter tribute to Dr. Savita Halappanavar who passed away from a miscarriage when she was denied an abortion
Emma Watson has penned a very powerful open letter as a tribute to a woman who passed away due to a miscarriage in Ireland after she was denied an abortion. The 28-year-old British actress shared a tribute to Dr. Savita Halappanavar whose death in 2012 called for abortion to be legalized in the country.
According to Porter magazine, Emma described how the dentist's friends and family had been "gracious and galvanizing" in sharing her memory in the days leading to the Eighth Amendment repeal which took place in May. Emma spoke about how a video of Savita dancing in a St Patrick's Day Parade had "moved her to tears". "In your memory, and towards our liberation, we continue the fight for reproductive justice," Emma wrote in the letter.
