Fri 05 May 2007Scan was first seen on Miss D's 17th birthdayIt should have been a happy day. April 23rd was Miss D's 17th birthday and she was about to see her baby on an ultrasound scan. But joy turned to distress when she looked at the 16-week- old foetus on the monitor. "The baby had no head," she said in her affidavit. Miss D discovered her baby had anencephaly and would die soon after birth. That was 10 days ago, but she was still trying to cope with the news yesterday as her High Court action opened, challenging the Health Service Executive's (HSE) refusal to allow her travel abroad for an abortion.The teenager became visibly upset and left the courtroom with her boyfriend when the ultrasound report was read out.
